I recently had the opportunity to do a three way Oriental ATC trade with
Jen and
Jacky. The ATCs above are the ones I made and the one below is Jen's. I'll post Jacky's when it arrives. I used some red vinyl fabric (the stuff that is quite thick and used for upholstery) as my base - it accepted machine stitching and I like the fact that it is a flexible but sturdy. The vinyl came from Reverse Garbage outlet in Brisbane several years ago! Can you tell I am trying to use up "stuff"!
And I have decided that I am not going to do anything else to this canvas - it is my practice sample for surface texture using molding paste, muslin and washers with paint. It is a practice sample, hence the lack of a focal point! (something that is bothering the males of this particular household!) I have used Lumieres in Sunset Gold, Super Copper and Halo Blue Green as highlights.

Love your textural piece Deb, those washers look great!
Gorgeous ATC from Jenxo and I love the two you have made. Mine will get posted tomorrow, I have been bogged down with my 12 days of Christmas swap. Tomorrow though I have a few packages to send off.
Since it is a practice piece, why not try a brighter gold highlight on the washers and the modeling paste peaks?
I love your practice piece, Debbi, and i think it does have a focal point, the washers. Men are funny about such things sometimes, mine has a thing about the rule of the thirds.
Your ATC's look great too.
Your samples from the FIF workshops are looking great particularly the 5th one down, great colour and I like the way you've kept the detail in one corner.
LOve you textural piece, it is wonderful. Adore your ATC's too.
What a fun and lovely swap that must be! I really enjoy Asian pieces and how so many supplies.....where does the time go :)
Really enjoy your texture pics, makes me want to touch the screen ;)
Ignore the men, they can't help but try to "fix" something they think is wrong! lol
Love the Asian atc's too, they look vintage Asian to me...wonderful.
OOh i cant wait now!!Your atc's look wonderful.
Love your textural canvas , you just want to touch it! jenxo
Love the ATCs, Deb. And the washers look amazing painted - the piece has gorgeous texture.
Don't know about you but I find that the more I use the more there still seems to be.
Lovely colours and textures on the sample piece.
Cheers
