Hammered Chip, Stringy ATC's

Hammered Chip is the current ATC Technique class I'll be teaching this fortnight. It makes the humble chipboard shape look more like hammered metal using Perfect Pearls, black paint and either a texture hammer or the end of a paintbrush.

The first couple of samples I've also shown a close-up of the chipboard pieces so you can see the texture more clearly.

"Cine-matic"...

"Disreputable"...

"Like a Star"...

"Organically Grown"...

"Peace"...

Here are some more samples from the Stringy ATC Class as well...the first one is actually an atc that's been attached to the front of a card. Just shows that you can do something else with your atc's besides just make them as atc's!

"You Own My Heart"... (card)

"Bionic Robotic"...

"Art is not a thing"...

That's it for now though I'll probably have some more Hammered Chip samples to show in the next post.

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!!! ;-)
