Shimmering with Recycled masks.......

Chances are, you, like me, have many little things just laying about that you could use as masks in your artwork.  I have been collecting bits of this and that for some time.  Sponges, the woven bags our oranges come in, bread tags, old game pieces, tubes.....anything with a cool shape you can spray over or dip into Shimmerz paints to stamp with....

So here is a layout I have been working on today!

I so enjoyed this one.

Lots of masking, with not even one purchased mask.

I hunt and gather all the things that I can find that would be good to spray through.  The large circles is a sheet from a game I bought the kids (once the chipboard discs where punched out), I coated it with acrylic sealer (Helmar) so it could get wet repeatedly and I use it all the time.  The smaller cluster of circles is a used sheet of foam mounting circles, which works great as a mask and a stamp.  I also used a alphabet stencil from a kids stationary set I have had for years.  It pays to check round the house for usable bits and pieces to spray and mist over!!!

I stamped the word 'three' and painted in the colour (a mix of Valentino & My Bleeding Heart Coloringz)

Masking is so much fun....I could make backgrounds all day with Shimmerz Sprays!!!!

Hope you will have a play too.
