Sassy Lassy Meets Sue!

Multi-media tile. Image courtesy Sue Miller Art

 It’s been ‘multi-media’ week around here; I don’t remember the last time I made a ‘simple card’.  My brain has been in hyper-drive with lots of new and fantastical ideas and I am not getting a lot of sleep. Here is the latest  multi-media ’tile’ I finished (today).
This tile is made using a 71/2 square inch corrugated cardboard packing divider.

I gave it a few coats of Liquitex and then began my collage. The black part on the canvas is xray film which I layered over cocktail napkins and patterened paper.  The xray film is SO cool because it is a different surface, it has varying degrees of opacity, and it loves alcohol inks.

The image is from Sue Miller.  Sue has a wonderful set of Art Postcards which (I think) are an incredible deal.  The raised square to the left of our pretty maiden is a tiny wood tile which I decoupaged with the matching cocktail napkin ( only use the printed ply).
I can now use this as a topper for a large card/frameable art, or as a stand-alone piece of art.  I like working on this thick cardboard, or chipbaord first because it allows me to take my time finalizing its ultimate purpose.
Thank you for stopping by,
~Roberta

I have been UBER busy — but all in a VERY good way!
