Last weeks lesson for Creative Jump Start was using Pablo Picasso for inspiration. One thing I take away from Picasso is that he worked in a multitude of mediums. I like to think that he enjoyed experimenting and trying new things as much as I do. I wanted to do something dimensional after seeing the sculptures and gourds he created.
Anyway, this week I experimented using a mask from Stencil Girl. I ran it through my embosser with some gold coated foil and created a cover for a journal. I hope you enjoy it. I didn't little video of the process on YouTube.

The backside of the foil is filled with wax to prevent it from being crushed. I sanded the gold foil finish down after the wax was poured into the design. Then I used black acrylic paint to emphasize the relief.

It's absolutely stunning Peg. I like the idea of supporting your design with wax. Barbxx
Love this for your art journal cover -beautiful and what a great idea to fill it with wax from the back. Thank you for being part of CJS!
This is beautiful! I love the idea of using a mask to emboss foil - I haven't tried that yet, but I'm going to now!
