SDC124: Using Gesso

 

Hello Creatives.  Welcome to Stampotquie SDC124: Gesso

Sarinda here and I am asking you to rethink Gesso in this challenge. I find that I use Gesso a lot in my work and feel is an amazing tool to utilize. Yes, tool. Not only does is serve as a basic prep to your sub-straight, It picks up texture of a stencil, use it with a pallet knife, layer it. And if you are using it with inks, sprays, stains it will create unique depth to your backgrounds. Even try it on top of lace, fabric, tulle. Play and be free. I have a gesso tutorial (Below) if you need some extra inspiration. www.AggregateMemories.blogspot.com

I also wanted to take the time to Thank all of you for your wonderful, creative support over the years. This will be my last challenge I will be hosting with Stampotique. As my glass art business is demanding more of my time... This is good as I have been working for this moment over 13 years. I will not be a stranger to Stampotique as most of you know... I LOVE STAMPOTIQUE. 

Face the Brilliance of your most wonderful creations and Dwell on you Dreams.
Cheers-
Sarinda

Here are the cut outs that I was using. Too many to just waste.

Stampotique Day!!

Hello everyone-

I know I have been missing in action as of late. I have many new and exciting things that I have been doing. I can't wait to share with you when I have not be sworn to silence. lol

Jane is our hostess with the mostess today. I love color challenges and was not sure until late in the game what I was going to really do. Too many ideas swirling in my head.

I was working on one of these projects that I will share with you soon and I had so many cut out and then realized the colors were the same as the challenge. YiPpeeee. Done. I love how creativity is all build on other things. You never know where the process will take you until you are there.

Here is what Jane has to say about the challenge on Stampotique's Site. Hope you will come and play in our sand box this week. It could win you $30 to spend with Stampotique.

Have a great week.
Sarinda
