My rather shady background

Oh dear, this is another background I've been working on but my scanner really doesn't do it justice. Never mind, I'm sure Chriss will have a piece!!!
I've used lots of different fabrics layered over each other and daubed in various fabric and acrylc paints and embossing powders. I've ironed the whole piece under a lovely white linen tea towel which has turned out to be a rather colourful piece of art in itself!

  1. Me Me Me... I need a piece!!! You are just so fabulously clever at creating these tactile backgrounds Deb and I just know it will be wonderful in real life. Can't wait to see it properly!!

  2. Aww, Chrissy, you're soooo kind, thank you! I will save a piece just for you. I'm using some for a mother's day card and to cover a couple of small books.
    When do we get together for playday?

  6. Even if your scanner didn't do it justice, it still looks really good! Something I haven't tried (yet) but I want to now.

    (Thanks for coming by my blog too)

    Now the decision re: teatowel - bleach it or cut it up and use for art....?
