WF16 Material Girls

For the Material Girl challenge I created an accordion folded art journal and made a cover on muslin. Since I planned to leave the edges of the muslin raw I took time to straighten the gain and cut accordingly. Clear embossing paste was spread over a stencil to create a dimensional focal image. When dry I misted the background with distress stains. With the clean stencil placed over the clear image I painted with Stewart Gill’s Meta Mica-verde gris paint. It has a high shine silver metallic look when caught in the light. I overstamped the background with distress inks on the upper left and bottom.

Decorative trim was added and the fabric attached to watercolor paper to raise it above the base. A white felt mat was cut and edges pinked and added tiny bits of stickles. The panel was sealed with distress glaze.
The base is Arches watercolor paper cut 6”tall and scored for panels 4.25” wide and provides 14 surfaces for my work. Blended shaded lilac distress ink across the background of the cover. I made a fabric bead from front panel scraps. I used Ranger multi medium matte to adhere layers.

How pretty and what a creative idea for how to use the material on a different kind of project. The shine of the mica paint and the ribbon you used catches the eye and I like that you used a mat of felt to give dimension. Very nice!

This is beautiful! Thank you for all the details. I have never considered using embossing paste on fabric. That opens up all kinds of possibilities. I hope you'll share this art journal as you add to it. Daria
