Megan's Metallic Journal

My latest contribution to the True Colors round robin was a spread in Megan's metallic journal. I tried a new technique to make a paper mosaic. I call this the Mosaic Madonna.







The technique is pretty easy. Take a sheet of label paper, lay it non-sticky side down, and take off the backing. Stick the paper mosaic pieces all over, then sprinkle with embossing powder. Shake off excess, use a small paint brush to remove the powder from any of the pieces, then heat to melt the powder. Cool!

Jen's Fingerless Gloves

My first pair of gloves! Well, I only had to knit the thumb, as these are fingerless, but it's a start. These were knitted with two strands of wool, so they were very quick. Please ignore the incredibly ragged fingernails. I just can't seem to keep them nice, what with all the ink and paint and grout and glue around here.





Pretty cool, don't you think? I hope my sister likes them. I'd keep them myself, but it's been up to 90 degrees here lately. I think she needs them a bit more in Denver.
