“Sunflower Field in Autumn” by Diane W. aka midteacher

there is peaceful.
there is wild.
i am both at the same time.

Today’s sunflower comes from my photographer friend Diane–midteacher on swap-bot. She continually inspires me with her beautifully crafted photos.

For “Sunflower Field in Autumn” Diane tried a creation process she had just discovered.  For this project she:

• “gessoed” watercolor paper
• pushed pearlized crackle paste through stencil
• allowed to dry overnight
• Used INFUSIONS color stain on background
• allowed to dry overnight
• glued photo; adhered paper and ribbon
• allowed glue to dry
• added sewing
• glued cardstock to backside and trimmed

I get to be the “guinea pig” for many of Diane’s experiments with new techniques. Lucky me–especially when sunflowers are involved!

Thanks for the sunshine, Diane!
