The yummy dessert series is all wrapped up. I tried several new techniques this time around and I really like the results.
One of the things I purposely tried to do was to create the feeling of "white" using color, as seen in the cupcake holder, the ice cream, the cream-filled cookies and the cake. Large areas of white in collage have always been a challenge for me; but, mixing in colored paper with the white paper completely brought the white to life. That was a good lesson learned.
Another first in the dessert series was the use of a few large format stamps I made from foam core and fun foam. (Thanks Judi Hurwitt for that fun class this summer). I cut the foam core to the size of the panel - 12 X 12 - and then cut self adhesive fun foam into circular shapes, placed the shapes onto the foam core, applied paint with a sponge, stamped the panel, voila! Very happy with the result.
Another handmade stamp was used for the cake background.
And another for the cookies background.
Chocolate covered starwberries has a background made from a stencil, a rubber stamp, and a small circle cookie cutter used as a stamp.
Soon after I finishing this series, I discovered the Society 6 website which allows you to upload your art images and place them on items such as notecards and tote bags.
So Cool!
