Playing with Shiva Sticks
Another small project finished this morning as I work through the 3CS TOM [technique of the month]. This little postcard started as a small off-cut of avocado silk dupion. I had a package of stick on leaves in various shapes [purchased from one of those dollar stores]. I used three 'grapey' leaves as a 'mask', then used a stiff bristle stencil brush to apply some gold shiva to the background. Once the oil was cured, I pulled the leaves away. There is a small amount of machine stitching around the perimeter to highlight the leaf shapes.

Drat, some felt still visible!!! Light not good at my place this morning, too much fog!!!
Linda, I love the vine design, all those little beads.... just so lovely.
It's hot and sunny here. :)
This is lovely. The grapes look good enough to eat.
Lol Linda i cant see any felt and i have got my glasses on!! This is so stunning and those beads are just the right colour....i must explain my sewing more like this....its interesting. x
Thanks again ladies. Jen, I love to hear how people arrive at the finished result, so thought explaining 'my way' might be of interest. Sometimes I have a plan, sometimes things evolve and take on a life of their own as they are being made........... I have had those 'purple iris' beads for such a long time.
This is lovely Linda. My eyesight is not good, but I can't see any sign of felt. I have lots of different shapes of beads in that coolour and I love using them. Fine and sunny here today. Cheers, Robin
Linda, this is lovely. What a lovely idea - using the shiva for the background to set the whole design off. Love the grapes.
These monthly challenges are great fun. So much to try out.
You clever girl, this is very nice!
Linda this is fabulous ! this was a great technique to play with and i love what you did with it awesome !
Oooh, I like this! What a lovely bunch of grapes!=)
Hello Linda, Your card is just super. I loved also how you used the shiva sticks to paint with. The beaded grapes are perfect. Lovely creative card. Hugs Judy
