Welcome to another week! I hope your weekend was as much fun as mine!
This is how mine started – a table-top full of fun stuff just waiting to be played with.
And this is one of the pieces that emerged – a beautiful textural mixed media collage background made using paper, gesso, molding paste, stamps, paint, ink, glazes, stencils, tissue paper, cheesecloth, text. I just *love* the way it turned out.
If you remember, some time ago I began playing around with paper and paint with – well – not much success. You can see where I began here. I don’t get much time to play around with this kind of stuff, a few minutes here, a few minutes there, but I really think my technique has improved a little since then.
I scanned the collage and combined it with a photo to make this piece of digital art.
But then I decided that I wanted the color to be a little stronger, so I added some more paint, and this was the result which I love even more!
Then I highlighted it with some gold paint. I must admit it looks better in real life but the highlighting really made the texture stand out which was what I wanted.
I rescanned it and played around a little in photoshop. I was surprised by the range of colors I was able to achieve.
So what happens now? Check back in a few days.

Linda, you are not afraid to try anything. I love this experiment(?). You can do so much with photoshop. Guess that needs to be my next set of classes. I assume you have a tectured piece of fabric you created and when you print the photoshop image, you will have s smooth surface that looks textured? This is intriguing. Look forward to seeing what’s next.
Awesome! You are one talented lady!
Just happened upon your interesting blog while surfing the net. Enjoyed your textile creations and art quilts–the purses are gorgeous. And your experiments with the photoshop are interesting.
