COLLAGE CRAFT


COLLAGE - FRAME & BRACELETS

Picture
I love to do old fashioned traditional collage technique of laying bits of paper over one another for an overall effect.

The photo frame is using a 'Romance' themed paper.

One of the bracelets, I have used 'Paua' effect paper and the other a blue/brown scrap booking paper I liked the look of.





Material used:
Plain wooden photo frame, plain wooden bracelets, scrap booking paper, wrapping paper, soft (gloss) gel medium, chroma gloss finish varnish.

'KIWIANA CHRISTMAS STAR'

Picture
My entry for a competition on the tv show Good Morning - Design a star for the top of the Christmas tree.

I chose to go with a Kiwiana theme.  I cut a star shape template from cardboard.  Collaged it piece on piece with paua shell effect wrapping paper.  Added plastic silver fern pieces onto a black star (All Blacks) and completed the centrepiece with a plastic imitation greenstone koru.

My entry didn't win but I had fun designing and creating it :)


Materials used:
Cardboard, paua shell effect wrapping paper, plastic imitation silver ferns, black acrylic paint, plastic imitation greenstone koru, decoupage glue, superglue
