New tag, new question... am i afraid of change?
Now, i don't know what it is with this project, but it definitely triggers my imagination! For this tag i thought it would be nice to make some 'doors' on it... so i did...
To make sure the tag will fit nicely between all the other tags in the end (remember, 52 tags when the whole project is done) i needed something to keep those doors closed... so, a little piece of black string tied around those darling blue belles did the trick!
To achieve a nice 'distressed' effect, i put 4 layers of gesso down all over the tag. The last two layers were dabbed on, to provide some texture. I painted the front and back with black acrylic paint, and when that was dry, i sanded the whole piece to reveal the texture again. I dabbed several colors of ink on the tag and let it dry.
And i must have been insane, but i actually hand sewed all those tiny little beads around the picture. But i really like the effect, so it was worth the effort!
I have some fun ideas to for displaying all my tags... but i'll share those with you later!
For now... have a good Sunday!
