All things start somewhere; hidden, locked away in a bag.
It's up to us to unzip the bag and let our imaginations flow freely on their journey of discovery.
I started out with a manila tag. I embossed it with a TH patchwork texture fade, inked it with Distress Ink VP, and sprayed it down with water to make the ink bleed. I then cut out a zipper from some old pants and fit the tag to it. I inked another tag black and then glued down the top tag and zipper. I stamped TH's pickup on a white piece of packaging (Recycling!! YAY!) and cut it out. I found some gear like pieces at the hardware store, made some vintage clouds out of old book pages and Broken China distress ink. I also printed out a fairy with some gorgeous wings from TheGraphicsFairy and gave the truck some flight! I used a Qtip to give the pickup a bit of backfire smoke. There's some turquoise colored wire that was wrapped into swirls, and then I assembled it all to look like it was "released" from the zipped up black tag!

ReplyDeleteUgh...i love you and hate you. You're just too good! Okay-I just love you:) On another note, this reminds me that you should show your readers some of the lovely fine art you've done...such as the work that got you that fancy scholarship, perhaps? Just a thought. I know I'd like to be able to open my blogger and look at that eye candy:)
