Andy Skinner: Inhale Exhale Mixed Media Tag By Heather Thompson

I hope this finds everyone well and safe. I have been busy on my end, and my art has taken a back burner.

I am really struggling on finding the time to create. Between work and the kids being home 24/7 and home school. There has not been much me time. This tag took me about 2 weeks to complete and that is not normal for me. I have so many projects I want to do, its's just a matter of getting time.....only 1 more weeks of home school. We are almost done, No Summer school for this momma!!!!

I would love to share a tag I made with Andy's rice paper's and rub-ons. I wanted to make something vintage looking. My mother had given me a numerous things of my opa who had passed. Old postcards, stamps, receipts, I think he saved everything. I wanted to incorporate them onto a project.

A short video of the creative process.

Here are a few close-ups.

Using the flaming hearts, I used some thin scripture paper to cover the background. I added a vintage look with a combo of Quinn Gold and Paynes Gray before adding a epoxy resin to the centre of each heart.
