Elizabeth sent me these wonderful tea cups that she did after viewing the DVD. I think her "shine" is just perfect and it really gives me a sense of porcelain, it really reads "coffee cup" to me. I also LOVE her very subtle shadow on the green ground, just a little bit of darker green pieces with an undefined edge, perfect!
Here's what she had to say about the DVD:
I first saw your work in Cloth Paper Scissors magazine and loved your technique/process and wanted to know more, so I purchased your DVD. I had great fun making this piece- it reminded me of putting together a puzzle. The DVD was clear and helpful- gave me the details I needed to continue from the article.
Thanks for sharing your process/technique!
Do you think she added the highlights on the cup with gesso or paint? Or was that a bit of collage paper in a lighter tone. Getting soft edges is hard for me!
ReplyDeleteshe may have embellished a little with gesso or paint, but I definately see white paper bits in there. sometimes adding a white tissue with fiber on top can give you the feeling of soft edges and highlight!
ReplyDeleteI did embellish with a little paint to get the 'shine' on the cups!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! So interesting but not overwheming with the collage at all.
