Start Up’s for Mixed Media Projects

I cannot help myself when I am given anything flat and white. It’s like a blank canvas to me and I have to doodle! This was so so so much fun to make. I started with the Start Up’s Large Rectangle Slider piece. This would be great on a card, scrapbook page or a mixed media piece. I made this one a ballet style bracelet.

 

 

I love the finished piece on my daughter’s tiny wrist! So, to begin, you want to sand the surface of the Start Up piece just to rough it up a bit and take off the shinny coating. Dust is off and start to doodle.

I used a Faber Castel PITT pen and doodled some different size pumpkins. The coloring was done by using just colored pencils.

Let it dry for a few hours before you coat it. I coated the top with DG3 from Judikins and spinkled in a bit of Ultra Fine Prisma Glitter and went to bed. This is important. The DG3 takes about 4 or 5 hours and I always want to touch it before it’s totally dry. So going to bed helps! I added a two toned piece of satin ribbon and it was all ready to wear.

 

 

The tall pumpkin pendant was done the same way. I used a Large Tag Start Up for my blank canvas on this one. I used some beading cord and a few beads on the ends to finish it off. I am having a great time playing with the new Start Ups… you will too!

    OH….maybe a little stamping on them if you’re not a great doodle-r? Or some beautiful monogrammed necklaces? Or maybe personalized gift tages to save…as ornaments???

    Ooh, the possibilities! It reminds me of shrinky dink jewelry without the fear of melting plastics, distortion, and sharp edges.
