Some postcards

I just finished a set of postcards for a swap using Misty Fuse.

Having limited supplies, I decided to see how many ways one can paint with Misty Fuse.

If you paint it heavily with undiluted Lumiere, you get a very solid surface, like gold leaf. You can stretch it a bit and get nice crackles. If you just lightly dab the paint, you get a lacy effect. If you water the paint down, most of the metallic doesn't stick, but you get colored web.

Since I had the paint out, I painted a few more things. I had three types of fusible web, so I painted some of the other two types. Wonder Under is fun, but very solid. The other stuff is the best, I think, as it is the most open. I am using that painted fusible (picture in a previous post) on a vase I'm working on.

Anyhow, here are the postcards:




This one below is my favorite. It looks like a picture of a nebula to me. There are two or three layers of Misty Fuse in places, some of it is holding down the non-heat bondable type of Angelina.


This one is using one of my silk fusion leaves.
