Voinks! We are on Week 29 of the Compendium of CuriositiesChallenge at Linda’s Studio L3! That means we are very close to finishing every
technique in Tim Holtz’s fabulous 2nd volume. I wonder…is there a Vol. 3 on the horizon?
Any who, lets enjoy the techniques we still have left. This week, we are on page 64, which has 2
texture fade techniques. And despite me
having done this first one many times…let me just say: “Eureka!!” I think I
finally figured out which side to ink for which effect! Of course, doing the technique
without a plan can lead to a mess, but I did get to play with my new poinsettia
die. And now I realize, this won’t fit in a normal envelope, but still great
fun to do.
This second one I didn’t know about...and it shows great
possibilities…if you choose the right fade...and if your somewhat new Adirondack
dabber isn’t already gummy and dried up…..Very annoying…does anyone know, if,
like the crackle paints, these can be refreshed with water? I’m getting tired of sending things back to
Ranger…This was just an experiment, done on a manila file folder (I so love end
of year clean-up!! I have a stack of folders ready for reuse!!)
So grab a copy of this fab book, grab your favorite texture
fade and give these techniques a go…there is still a bit more time, and a new
page will be explored on Friday!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 
Both smashing projects Kim. I have added a little bit of water to the paint in the dabber, but now when they are finished I refill with ordinary acrylic paint, its a lot cheaper. x
ReplyDeleteGreat projects with the texture fades Honey. I had not thought of doing what Netty does. I only have two paint dabbers as I have a lot of paints to use up first!
