Comb-over

I was playing with some faux glaze that was left over from a kitchen painting project.

I mixed it with some acrylic paint from my studio and used a painters comb to brush through the paint.

I added bits of oil pastel and some stampings

I'll be able to use this paper later for other projects

I experimented with some other color combinations on the brown paper

 I was so inspired by the materials that I got in my fabric swap with  Lorna from Artymess that I made some postcards with some bits

The sari fabric bits were fabulous along with a deteriorating old silk scarf that belonged to my mother

I had been waiting to used this distressed abandoned quilting squares that I picked up at a yard sale.

I used iron-on Pellon to stick it to the cardboard for this postcard.

I was  also inspired  by Corrine at Dosfishes to make up some large mail art envelopes for later use.
