Handmade collage with digital accents


I made this collage with fotocopy transfer. The woman was a black and white fotocopy, which I have transfered with thinner. After it was dried I colored it with pencils. The bag is a drawing.
The lipstick was a laser fotocopy (in color) which I could transfer with my iron.
The lines are embroidering.
And the accents (yellow) I made with the Photoshop.

Rusty piece done!

And here the embellished rusty envelope!

Happy new year!

How to make our own rusty things

I love to work with iron and metal. But, there are many troubles to work with them. First they are heavy and how to glue them on a surface? The best way to work with this kind of stuff is to make "fake" rusty iron.

What you need:
carboard
raw umber acrylic paint
iron rusty kit
pencil, cissor, etc.

To make the envelope use one as template. Lay it over a cardboard sheet, cut it out and glue it in the form of an envelope.

Paint the whole surface with the acrylic paint. Let it dry and apply the rusty stuff. Let it dry again. With my brazilian rusty kit the more I wait, the better it will be. Easy, doesn't?
So the fever of rusty things take me and I have painted some coasters, and little pieces of resin.
The leg I made with Fimo and used the same procedure above.
Have fun!
