Rice Paper

Rice Paper

Hallo There!

The year seems to be already

picking up speed.................

Here we are almost at the end

of February   

Beginning to wonder if the 

addition of an extra week 

wouldn't be such a bad thing.......................

Really? Yes of course, I'm joking!

Here's Helen Chilton with some

lovely rice paper:

Choose your designs. I've gone for 

one black and white collage design 

and then some coloured images for my focal point

Stick some of the black and white paper 

to the front of your canvas using a decoupage glue

Rub out any air bubbles with your fingers

 Cut out the focal image roughly and stick to card. 

When dry trim to make a tag.

I've used Gelatos as a colouring medium 

and have taken my colours from the dress form image

Rub and blend them with your fingers.

You can also pull out colour with a wet brush.

Add some extra colour to the dress form tag.

Then use a baby wipe to remove colour and make highlights

Finally rub some white Gelato over the back of a stencil 

and rub into the canvas. 

Finish with a brad, stickles and some ribbon.

Materials used:

Rice paper
8x8 canvas
Decoupage glue
Gelatos

Thank you Helen 

Isn't that gorgeous?

Amazing what can be 

achieved with these papers

They're so affordable and

come in so many designs

do give them a go

'Till tomorrow
