This texture was NOT done in Photoshop. It's all in-camera.
I thought I'd give Through the Viewfinder (TtV) a try, but I never do things the normal way. Instead of using a twin lens camera to focus an image onto ground glass, I thought I'd just use an enlarger lens to focus an image onto homemade screens made of various materials (so far tissue paper and wax paper).
See the setup here
These were made from instructions in one of Claudine Hellmuth's books. I've been experimenting lately with lots of different backgrounds.
These are wedding cake toppers that I designed and painted for my father and his very happy wife.
It was my first time painting 3D wooden sculptures (I normally do 2D art) and I think it came out well!
Acrylics (and ink) for the paint, tissue paper for the roses, wire for the glasses.
For the group Christmas Lights in Containers. I'm having fun trying all sorts of things! 9-) It's fascinating to see what others are doing! You can find the group here ~

Ten, fifteen years ago I made multi-media paintings. This is a detail from one. I started a painting with watercolor. Then I layered on pieces of tissue paper I had colored with acrylic inks. When the sunlight hit it this morning, I saw how much rust color it had. ;)

A selection of tissue paper I used is in the first comment box below...
Cover is antique dictionary page collaged with monoprinted tissue paper squares. Four chunky signatures of Cartiera Magnani Velata Biblos paper (great for ink and pencil), sewn to the reinforced black/white cloth spine with waxed grey linen thread. Landscape format, approx 5 x 8 inches.
This is again tissue paper I colored with acrylic inks. I crushed white tissue paper, sprayed it with water, and then dropped on acrylic ink. After the paper dried, I ironed the paper, and then crushed the paper again and repeated the process. When I was satisfied with the result, I ironed the paper flat. I'm hoping to have an example of this tissue paper I decorated in every month's color in 2014!

Welcome to Tuesday, my Flickr friends! Thanks so much for showing up and sharing! I won't be around Flickr much today I'm sorry to say. The pain in my arm kept me awake much of the night last night so this morning I'm not only hurting but tired. I'll get to you when I can. I miss sharing about what you're posting!
UHU liquid glue works great with tissue paper. I found the slight "ledge" created between the tissue frame, the page hole, and the insert vellum frame gave a good spot for gluing and aligning. I thought the vellum was going to be too stiff but it ended up being an advantage.
I created this stamped candle and matching card set as a holiday gift. I used slightly non-traditional versions of red and green, so the candle could be used year round. It was a lot of fun to make and I am so pleased with the results!

Thanks for looking! :-)
Tissue paper flowers held up with twine. If I do a couple of these each night, I may just finish it all before the wedding in December! :)
I was in awe of Cathey Love's Dragon Eye project when she posted it on Facebook, so we had to try it at McNeil. It's in the rotation now!
We drew dragon eyes, went over that drawing with Sharpies, added shaded colored pencil accents, and then the real fun happened - we used bleeding tissue squares to add color! I've never used bleeding tissues before, but I'm hooked. What a fun way to add color. For the last step, we added chalk pastel to the eye.
I really love how each eyes is as individual as the artist making it.

I've posted a fun workspace tour over on my blog today, here are some pictures from my home...

I decided to do something a little different today. I used a journal prompt from my sweet friend, Zura, (you can find the blog post here: www.creativeclown.com/imagine-a-woman-2/
So I found a cool image in one of my Dover Publications clip art books (got in a swap on Nervousness) used tissue paper that was wrapped around some pears I bought today at the market, gold foil from a chocolate bar Hayden and I split and an image from a Yugi-Oh! card (Blue eyes white dragon, I think!). I smooshed about 3 layers of tissue paper on the pages with gel medium, pasted the images and foil on with more gel medium, painted the tissues with shimmering acrylic paint (just the cheap stuff!) and played around with the liquid wax my Mum gave me for my birthday (Thanks Mum!). I want everything to be good and dry before I do some journaling and lettering on it. I'm really digging how it turned out. Thanks for the prompt Zura!! xoxoxo
I recently held a giveaway on my blog, and had two Hero Arts clear stamp sets and one Hero Arts wood stamp to prepare for mailing.
Because I am mailing them, I decided to use a tag for a card and tissue paper as the wrapping, to minimize the weight and thus the shipping charges.
Stamping on the tissue paper was a bit trickier than I thought. I ended up liking tone-on-tone results the best. And it was helpful to make sure the tissue paper was flat and taught before stamping ... so an extra pair of hands or good paper weights can help!
I really like how the packages turned out and sure hope the recipients enjoy them!

Through Dualism, I’m interested in exploring the correlation of the mind and body, specifically how physical ailments influence the self through underlying mechanisms which guide our behavior. For the left image, I have scanned images of the subjects and constructed transparent paper sculptures out of them, photographing them as the final piece. For the right image, I have cast the subject's head in clay, and constructed a paper cast in tissue paper from that mold, photographing it as the final piece. I wish to convey how living with a life influencing illness is a shift between the internal and external, death and rebirth, worry and comfort, with each swaying the other in a careful endless balance.
