I tried out some of her techniques involving using wax crayons and inks on thickish hand-made paper which you then screw up and iron until it becomes almost like fabric. I then played around with it......cutting it up, piecing bits back together, machining over, adding fibres, cutting out flower shapes etc.
Its quite small ......4" x 5". I was going to neaten up all the ends but I rather like them tatty.
Another of my favourite blogs is Michelle Ward's and last week she gave a link to a wonderful website called Villainess. 
They sell gorgeous products like perfumed oils, scrubs, soaps and body creams....which are just that bit different. The way the products are described is brilliant; I recommend you go and have a read. I even like the names.......Decadence, Byzantium, Silk and Cyanide, Scintillating, Paradise Misplaced. I treated myself to a few items (well, it is my birthday soon!) The black envelopes contain small soap samples which you can buy for $1 (you also get two free) - the labels are rather lovely and may be seen on future ATCs etc!

This week I have been making things for Liz with her 'Marie Antoinette' photos on.
A 5" x 5" chunky canvas .......... (I printed her photo onto tissue paper so the text underneath shows through)
an ATC.....
and a mixed media collage....
I hope she likes them........ (haven't seen much of her for the past few days as she's been with the new boyfriend)
