paper cast
I'm involved in a swap from the "Surface Design Group" where I have to demonstrate a technique. I decided to show how to do a paper cast using water soluble paper as Maggie Grey states in her book, "Paper and Beyond".
Put two layers of the paper on top of your stamp and wet it carefully with your finger
Wait until it dries completely and peel it off
Find a background (in this case an ATC colored with tissue paper)
Paint with thick acrylics
Once dried, rub with metallic wax
It is the perfect texture to add some chunky stitches and beads.
Since I did an ATC, you know me I have to do a jacket that goes with it. Although I love to use interfacing, as I showed it to you before in my other post, this time I used newspaper, covered it with gesso first, then painted with gold acrylic paint. To finish it off, I used the same stamp I used for the paper cast to stamp it all over.
