A new workshop has finally arrived and this time the end result can be worn!
In our new workshop you will be making 2-3 mixed media brooches and one mixed media photo background that can be layered in a 6x4 inch photo frame.
To create these pieces we started off by having fun with some Tim Holtz alcohol inks on Yupo paper to make some wonderful designs. We picked colours that we knew we would be happy to wear as eventually we will be turning these creations into a background for a brooch. We experimented with the Alcohol Lift Ink to create some great effects on our backgrounds.
Once we were happy with the way our backgrounds were looking we traced around a heart shape MDF piece that is going to be the shape and backing of our brooch. Once the background had been cut to the right size we delved into our embellishment drawers and picked out some wonderful die cut floral pieces, lace cut offs, gems and more!
We finally stuck everything in place using glossy accents and once it had all adhered the final stage was to cover the entire brooch with an even layer of glossy accents and then lay to dry.
End result - a beautiful handmade brooch!
Check out some close ups of our brooches below and also a closer look at the alcohol ink photo background we made for a frame.
