MOMPIECE mixed media pieces crack me up! Remember all of the axioms we heard as children--like "
Don't Go Out Without a Coat," "
Eat Your Dinner, There Are Children Starving in China," and "
When You Grow Up, I Hope You Have Children Just Like You"? Benson has a whole series of hilarious interpretations in necklace form made from found objects.

I saw a tutorial over at
Make the Best of Things for stylizing a plain glass vase. Decided to try it with one of mine. She used hot glue, (I may use that next time) but I used paper clay to make the design.
A couple of process pics, then the finished vase. Didn't taake a picture when I painted it with gesso.
I like it much better than the clear glass.
Hey, look what you did! How clever! Thanks for giving me props for the hot glue/tissue process, I think your idea would work for alot of neat dimensional designs, too. And I love paperclay, so I will have to try this! Your vase came out really well.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think it is a great idea and plan to make more eventually, so thanks for the tutorial and the inspiration!
