Winter Dreams of Summer....

When I was drifting off to sleep last night listening to the sleet / ice hitting the window I was thinking how nice it would be to be some where warm - LOL!!
 

As a result I wanted to share a collage I made using artist spackle, metallic mists, some of Altered Pages beautiful vintage beach images and a few other goodies...
 

Memories of the Sea....
 

 

I applied a thick layer of the Artist Spackle to a game board (cut to size).  Then while the spackle was still wet I embedded a strand of faux pearls, sea shells, sea glass and a pearl.
 
After the spackle had dried I applied various shades of the dye mist ink to the entire board.
 

 

I then set about creating a collage of summery beach images in the center and even included a small vial filled with sand collected while visiting NJ.
 

 

So, if you're stuck inside watching the rain/ice/snow coming down...
don't fret - summer is on it's way :)
 
Until then, stay safe, warm and
enjoy some crafting time inside!

  1. Love it. I do remember those mights of listening to the rain and snow falling, sometimes a beautiful lullaby and other times, impending stress! This piece is lovely and soothing to look at.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
