I posted the last challenge on the Gingersnaps Blog today! There's some lovely artwork on there by our talented design team and visiting artists for our final copper, ginger or rust color challenge. It's sad to see it close, but it's time to try new things and take on new challenges :)
The different layers you see here are from bottom to top: chipboard, batting, muslin, 2 pieces of vinyl wallpaper, patterned paper by Graphic 45, embossed copper c/stock and a strip of rust linen (scraps from my living room curtains!). Here's a close up:
The main panel is made up of 9 inches that include stamped images from Stampin' Up! and Artistic Outpost. The circular thingamajig is a key from a vintage cash register. I love it and have been trying to find a use for it for a while now.
I took a photo of my work table when I was done making this - it was a ocean of orange! I'm linking it to What's on Your Workdesk? Wednesday 147.
Hope you're having a creative week!

This is so pretty! I love your use of fabric. I don't do enough with it. Inspiration here, Ali!
ReplyDeleteOooh, this is beautiful, Ali! Love the squares and how you've layered all the different textures. The stitching adds so much extra detail. Love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layered collage of great textures Ali. x
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, love the texture and the layers. Your 'unloved' corners only add to the charm of the piece!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece, Ali, and your work desk is indeed an ocean of orange! It's hard to believe it's the farewell challenge at Gingersnap Creations.
ReplyDeleteI did woyww this week, too--been cleaning up a little . . .

This is a great piece you have created! So many layers that I had to sit and just look at it for a few minutes! Love that vintage cash register key! You found the perfect project to use it on!

Lovely creation Ali, isn't it funny, your title coloured
ReplyDeletemy view and I can only see gingers and light browns, not oranges!!
IS that how you do it then - settle ona colour and pull out all related paper and fabric? Wow. Id drown before I got round to tidying up..my desk would be about a foot deep in layers of colour!
A really beautiful layered collage, I love how you have incorporated fabric along with other mediums, its really gorgeous :)

It's beautiful Ali! Inchies always fight me but I'm inspired to try again!
ReplyDeleteLove this project- the fabric is a wonderful design element. Oh heavens, I do not think I could post pictures about whats on my workspace....... I love the idea of making a swatch book for color combo's.
