Behind the Mask

I picked a couple of cool paper mache masks in Perth at Collins Crafts in Balcatta, I thought they were super neat and gave one to my daughter and brought the other one home to decorate...I am going to take my time with it but so far it is looking good...I think :)

I have painted it gold and then darkened the eye sockets and have put little scales of fusible film on it, the copper coils I have stuck on the side are available from the Thread Studio (also in Perth).

I used liquid nails to stick the coils on and decided to play a little with that....ya know anything is a medium right?! Anyway, I squished some of the liquid nails onto a plastic lid and added some Lumiere paints (the lovely pink gold), I mixed with a popsicle stick and then smeared it onto an ATC card blank, using a toothpick I drew swirls and dropped paint onto the paste....I then got out my trusty heat gun and cooked the mix and ooooooooooh it bubbled and blistered and dried nicely, I then smeared some gold rub n' buff onto it and took my black stazon and swiped across the surface....then I cut out the little kimono shape...soooooo if anybody wants it just email me and I'll post it over to you...but remember it is small....perfect for an ATC!!!

I also have made this devine ATC for a swap at Scraptivate....I really like it and am going to make a stack of them I think :)
