I got the idea to do this from Belinda's Art Techniques - I will send you to that site for the how to's she explains it better the I can:-) Look for March Challenge - dyeing paper towels.
Elizabeth also did this technique if you'd like to see hers you can also see hers by going to her blog Altered Book Lover -- Thursday, March 06, 2008
Backgrounds made from Color Mists, Viva paper towels, and mica powders
Backgrounds made from Color Mists, Viva paper towels, and mica powders
Belinda and E both used color mists I used watered down acrylic paints, as I don't own in color mists yet, maybe one of these days:-) lol
Here are a few images of my favorite backgrounds out of the ones I did - I made 36 and still want to make more as I forgot to break out my mica powders (compliments of E) and would really like to add some umph to my backgrounds:-) lol
This first image is of all of them.
I like how mine turned out but think they would have looked better with some mica powder added - so will have to try again:-) lol
