Some art

This is a piece i finished yesterday. I had ordered those small mosaic tiles and i did not know what to do exactly what to do with them. I received double slide mailings the other day and everything come in place quickly. Why not do some piece with a greek style.

I first covered the cover with pieces of pages from a book and I distressed them. Then I glued the tiles and a picture of a woman who looked "greek" thanks to her vase. I added cracking medium on top of the picture. To glue the tiles I used a glue that would dry clear so we can still view the background.

For the interior, I first applied gesso (my first pot of gesso arrived last week with my shipment!) on the left side I applied some acrylic paint in mushroom and a transparent showing some architectural detail. I also glued a funny paper clip. On the other side I applied some beige acrylic paint and I glued some gold leaves pieces. I also used some picture of a greek temple and a little fairy inside a bottle that looked like very greek also. Finally I used some watch parts.

I am very happy with the mosaic tiles. I may order some more!!

I love seeing what people do with the slide mailers. They are such an interesting little package. Those mosaic tiles are ingenious and they look great.

that is so cool! I love the tiny mosaic tiles. *_* I want to find some now! and I've been wanting to try slide mailers for a while now. I think I'm definitely going to get some when I have money to buy new playthings. :D
