A few weeks ago four of us got together and spent the day working through a couple of projects in the latest issue of Sommerset Studio. I don't have the magazine with me right so I can't tell you exactly which articles inspired us. But, I do have some photos of the second project we worked on. None are mine however. I guess I was so busy taking pictures of what everyone made I forgot to take any of what I made.
I really like the background that my friend painted on this one. The image was taken from the free pages that are in the middle of the magazine. Then we used several books to create "found poetry."
The directions for the project called for using glass photo slides (I think.) We didn't have anything like that, so we made our own. In this piece, the picture of the bird is sandwhiched between two pieces of glass and then we wrapped the glass with copper foil tape and then glued it to our canvas.
In this last one the bird image is actually stamped onto the glass with Staz On ink and then a piece of dictionary page was put under it before it was closed up with copper foil tape.
