A Mixed Media Piece....

It's been so long since I created a Mixed Media piece of ART....It was fun to play not only with paper but with embellishments as well!!!! I have a swap I needed to complete in my group ARTHaven, Creations & Friendships the theme of this swap as "Image".....I could choose any image I wanted to use and create anything I wanted to create with this image......Since I recently got a Laser Color Printer I decided I would give the Omni Gel Transfer Technique that a very dear friend of my Angie Hall Haviland did this AMAZING tutorial for..... I am TICKLED that it turned out very well!!! Yahoooooooooooooooo......



To create this piece (which is a pin by the way) I used a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 wooden tile and painted a layer of Tim Holtz's Distress Crackle Paint in Vintage Photo.....once it dried it did a wonderful crackle job...which you can see very well through the transfer......the image I started with is below...I then cut it down to size then used the Omni Gel like Ang said and adhered to my wooden tile.....I ran wire through the holes and then wrapped with double sided tape...wrapped the beaded fringe around and strung a fancy button on the top with the wire I had ran through glued it to be stable and the used some lace to create a bow.........Oh Yeah....forgot to mention that I took a newpaper and cut out the words "remember the last words" and adhered to the top of the image with Omnigel.....touched the print with some Tim Holtz distress ink in Tea Dye then did another layer of Omnigel...Once everything was dry I took some scrap ribbon and adhered to the back of the pin to make it look neat then attached a pin back with my glue gun........
