So, as an experiment, I thought I would use some hand-made paper that I have had for a while; as a basis for a new piece. I was looking forward to using some materials that were completely new to me.
I started by colouring the paper with inks and paint, I used a good old fashioned mouth diffuser(which was lurking amongst my inks), and then flicked the paints; some of which were quite thick.
Next came the Gesso, and some new Translusent Sculpey, which was a new product to me and provided a lot of fun as well as giving a much needed extra dimension to things.
Once I had swirled this on, even more depth was given by upholstery fringing which was cut and sprinkled loosley over the sculpey,
Finally, I waxed and some of the beads and added bugle beads in a free form to accentuate the fringing.

I was pleased with the outcome and plan to continue
experimenting with this media.
I also have another in the pipeline, using plastics and acetates.
Will post when finished!
