I got to spend a little time in the studio today working with a somewhat new medium for me.....metal tape also known as furnace tape. It comes in a roll that's shiny silver metal on one side and is sticky on the other side when you remove the paper (don't confuse it with silver colored duct tape which is a dull color). I've used it on a project before and then tucked it away in a drawer but was inspired by Jack and Cat Curio's art. They make the most amazing collages!
Here are a few ATCs I made with the metal tape. I cut the bird image, crown and heart out of chipboard and glued it to the base of the card then I covered the whole card with pieces of the metal tape pushing it around the shapes. I then used 3 different colors of Ranger alcohol inks to cover the area around the birds and the crown and heart. I used red alcohol ink on the crown and heart. Pieces of paper were collaged onto card. I used a black Sharpie marker to go around the images.
The skull and crossbones is a foam piece that I covered with dimensional glaze and black glitter. Next post............ special give away! I'd better get to the studio and finish it!!!!
