This was a complete departure for me. Perhaps not the collaging technique, but lavender and lace was a theme that I was convinced I couldn't work with until I received a deco in that theme. The background is one of the machine-made decorative papers Ptichka and I bought at BeautifulPaperLand: The Warehouse Sale. I then glued on some paper lace that Kelli (for whom the deco is). I should've polymered the crap out of it but I didn't. Then I collaged over torn bits of white tissue. After the goop dried, I painted the thing purple. Ptichka turned up some purple rayon tissue that is pretty lacey. I glued that down, punched out some flowers in lavender and purple, glued those down, and then painted the whole shebang with gold interference paint. I think that I'm addicted to this stuff. I want it in silver now.

In case I don't get to post tomorrow, Happy Thanksgiving! We'll be having some bloody roast beef because that's what we like. I hope that you all get to eat something yummy too.

Wow. Great layers and echoing. You're definitely tempting me to go on an interferance paint hunt. Stuff sounds very entertaining. Happy Thanksgiving to you both.
