Fade

It has been awhile since I have posted anything, I feel like I have lost connection or something lol.  This page was simple, but it took me forever to get it going.  I used some of the TH Lost and Found papers, cutting them up and putting them on top of cardboard, that I painted with black and white gesso.  I used some Scrapmatts chipboard gears and a large Dusty Attic cog.  I used hemp twine around the page to frame it all.   Andrew got his hair cut with a star design...something a little different and cool.  I used Photobucket to edit the photo myself.    April 2012.

For my gears/cog I painted them with white gesso (here and there, not covering the whole area), then used some Lindy's stamp dabber (Golden Lump o'Coal) to darken it up.  I used some Crackle Accents to gloss it over a bit.  Once it was dry, I dabbed again with Lindy's dabber, to show off the cracks.
 The title is a rub on, I put on the photo.
Lots of inking, distressing and layering going on!!!  All grunge baby!
