I thought I would explore a few ideas I found in my wandering...this is the link to a tutorial on making stencils with hot glue and this is my stencil and a test piece.
The I tried glue resist from here, I didn't have the Elmer's Gel so I tried a Pritt Stick, the white one made quite a good resist
the green stick less so but I still quite like it,
The third thing I tried was from Andy Skinner, well my crackle didn't crackle, (I didn't have the same products) but I really liked the results, especially as the used two acetate prints I have had for ever.
and finally I saw this, again, I didn't have the exact products so my rust became patina instead but I would never have thought of using it on fabric.(the little square)
I had forgotten just how much I like the atc format. My thanks to all the artists who so generously share their knowledge and gave me a lovely mornings play. I do which Hobby Craft would up their game, my local branch is undertstocked and over priced. Or better still Michael's and Joann's open up here and bring a little competition (and all their lovely products)
I just made a pile of glue stick stencils! Ha, great minds, eh?...lol Yours worked quite well, but I still have to use mine on some cards I painted up for the experiment. Happy playing.....
ReplyDeletehere here I agree - Hobbycraft is awful. There is SOOOOO musch potential - I ofen wish I live in the US as what you can buy there is way ahead and loads cheaper!
ReplyDeleteI have to try this!It could be messy but I'll post the results on my blog in the upcoming weeks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea! Love your stuff!
