experimenting



My project is basically another experiment using more of my mixed media goodies decorating a painting brush.

Stamping my stamp from Stampotique onto tissue paper,
then adding onto my brush with water and glue to blend into the paint.
The word 'dream' is also a stamp, unknown, as I have had it for years.
My flowers were stamped from Altenew stamp set, onto background paper
made with 'smooshing' DI, fussy cut then adhered onto my brush.
A few extra elements to make my brush 'girly/feminine' were also added.
Gesso and acrylic paint was used to paint my brush. 
Sparkle medium was also applied.



I have finally completed converting all of my block stamps to ones
I can now use in the misti by using EZ mounting foam.

Very creative Annie, good on you for converting your stamps, I am still on the fence with this one, as I would need to sort a different storage solution

Stunning alteration Annie. I have always wanted to alter a paintbrush and never fitted it in. Good idea to change the stamps as well but that will be a very big job for you with so many stamps

Love Chrissie xx
