Silhouette Art
The monthly Altered Book class resumed on Saturday after a 2 month hiatus during the holiday season. For this class, the technique is silhouette art....you can sort of see the 3-D effect. I didn't complete the piece in class, because there were all of these little pieces of seaweed and a tiny mermaid to be cut out to "layer" in the framed part...my scissors just weren't small enough to handle those cuts so I created my little seascape inside the frame. It's not quite as 3-D as the one done in class, but I get the idea. And, of course, I had to jazz it up...the seahorse is looking pretty good and I have lots of beaded glass gel in this to give the water some sparkle.
