Brusho Week - Pauline Wheeler


Helloooooo,

Welcome to a new week here on the Blog.

This week we are featuring the fabulous Brusho's.
I haven't had time to play with mine properly but I have seen
some amazing projects made with them.  No two pages 
will ever be the same.

This week starts with Pauline.  She has created a gorgeous
book cover. 



Stick two sheets of watercolour paper together with red line tape.



I put three or four holes in the top of the lid of my Brushos and use 
them like pepper pots.
(Jane says - Some people put just one hole in the top,
others make more.  The bigger and more holes you have, the more 
powder comes out).



Spray the paper with a water mister and pepper the first colour
onto the paper.


Add more water and more colours till it is how you want it to be. 
Allow to dry naturally if you can but it can be heat set.



Add redline tape to the four edges of the front and back of the 
sketchbook and the three outer edges of the inside of the covers.



Remove the outer tape covers and lay the book down 
onto the reverse of the paper. 


Roll the book over to
 stick the other side down.



Trim the excess paper and mitre the corners
Remove one Side of the inside cover and stick the paper down. 
Repeat for the other cover.



Remove the inside tape covers and fold the cover down onto the 
paper again repeat the other side.


Stamp the chosen designs onto the front cover to finish.



These Brusho's never cease to amaze me, you never really 
know what is going to happen once you add the water!
Beautiful Pauline, thank you.
The pictures will not do it justice, the colours are so vibrant!

If you want to have a go, here is what Pauline used -





I shall be back tomorrow with a project from Neil.

See you then,
