Here is  my finished collage for the Wanderlust lesson by Carolyn Dube, "If these walls could talk"  I used collage,stencils and gelatos for my page. I liked Carolyn's video lesson and the gelatos technique was fun.

Tag Tuesday-Autumn Leaves

Today the theme for Tag Tuesday is Autumn Leaves

Autumn is such a glorious time of year.

The leaves have just started turning now, so this

is a topical tag for us here in the UK.

For my tag I used Gelatos through a stencil, which gave

a lovely textural raised appearance. I added some leaves

from my experiments with transfer printing, these are done

with gloss gel medium.

Gelatos

Here are my new Gelatos , by Faber-Castell, which arrived in the post for me!

I chose the " Brights" pack as I liked the colours. I had noticed various mixed media work

created using these crayons, and thought I would try them.

I particularly like their names;-

Lemoncello, Margarita Mix, Red Cherry, Orange Soda, Lime,

Snowcone, Bubble Gum, Passion Fruit, Lavender, Lemon,

Mango, Boysenberry.

Gelatos can be used in a variety of ways, as crayons, with water

as paints, and added to acrylics and gesso to name a few.

I liked drawing with them, it feels a bit like using lipstick! They are

very soft.

I have created a board on Pinterest, as I have been looking for inspiration

on how to use them. I find Pinterest a useful tool for filing ideas.
