Lots of cool projects and techniques in this book.
p. 48 take a piece of double-sided masking tape. Stick mosaic pieces to it. sprinkle tiny beads in the "grout" areas between. Stick to card.
p. 54 swirl diamond glaze and ink on a piece of acetate for a cool overlay
p. 59 more with acetate, diamond glaze, and swirled ink
p. 78 shave pastels onto card and smear them around for background. Stamp on top, coat with embossing powder, melt with heat gun.
p. 81 scribble colors for gradient with watercolor crayons. get wet and blend with a brush.
p. 92 cut out abstract shape from shrinky dink plastic. Melt. Coat with gold embossing powder and melt that. While it's still mushy, sprinkle on some tiny beads. Heat again to make sure everything gets stuck together.
p. 97 Cut tiles out of shrinky dink plastic. Melt. Stamp image into hot plastic. mix ink into diamond glaze and paint tiles with colored glaze. Add powdered pigment with a paintbrush while the tiles are still wet to get textural effects.
p. 116 Get a dried leaf or a sink leave with the plastic stems removed. dip it in embossing ink. Blot off any excess. cover with embossing powder and heat.
p. 120 stamp on a rock. use embossing powder on it. Kind of a silly idea but looks cool with a handwriting stamp and gold embossing powder on a dark stone.
