Last month's mixed media swap on Paperarts was an altered Torso. They were a bit hard to come by so not many participated but I had a go. In the end I was quite pleased with her but she took a while to let me know she was ready.
I layered stamped tissue onto the form with gel medium and the stamped and embossed the corset onto marbled black paper. I then used washes of Golden Quin Nicle Azo gold and a tiny ammount of purple with some gold mica powder thrown in.
The wings are the grunge board wings put through the cuttlebug with some german scrap. Thanks Linda B for the tip of using spanish copper Rub and Buff on gold german scrap. It's delicious.
I really laced the corset with eyelets and gold thread. Treasure gold here and there and she was done. She now lives in Wagga Wagga.I need to post about our Jenny Crossley weekend but I need to take some photos in the daylight first.
