It's Time To Get Messy


I finished another page to my canvas/acrylic mini album, and it's dedicated to Grundgy Monday #21 challenge which asked you to refer to T!m's awesome tutorials for "Transparent Illusions" (altering Fragments, Facets or Charms). I also dedicate this piece to Just For Fun Challenge in which their theme is "Black, White, Silver and Something Else". My something else is Copper.
I did the etching technique (awesome technique) on my black acrylic page and dry brushed the edges with white gesso. . Then I made a pocket out of acetate and Glossy Accented some #'s to the top. Next I used the Stained Imagery technique to made a little pocket watch out of a fragment, edged it with Copper UTEE and attached the chain.
In keeping with the theme of the page as pocket watches I decided to make a pocket watch folder to tuck away in the acetate pocket. I melted 3 layers of copper UTEE until very hot then pressed my rubber stamp in it for a textured image. There is room on the inside and back for photos. Added my clock hands and velcro tabs for closure. Lots of different techniques and lots of fun... xoxo TFL
