Stringy ATC's

Stringy ATC's is the technique for my next class. Very grungey, painty and textural. Those girls in my classes who don't like paint under their fingernails and hate having to peel away gel medium from their fingertips......tough - this will challenge you as it's a bit messy but I'm sure you'll enjoy the results!


So it involves basic white card stock, gesso, paint, possibly some stamping with Stazon, string, gel medium (both gloss & matte) and images that are mounted on a glob of the matte gel medium to give extra height and dimension. Samples.....


"Voice Synthesizer"...



"Make-believe"...


"Make-believe" close-up... (this shows the dimension from a side angle)





"She Eloped"...



"The marshalls"...

I'll have more samples as the classes continue, tomorrow is the first one (28th May), then Tuesday night and finally Thursday morning. I don't think I've ever said as little in a blog post as this one!!! ;-)

Great ATC's Kelsey.
I always love your take on these techniques. Never tried string yet but you have peeked my interest.
Take care.
