Mixed Media Book Cover

This is my first venture into the world of Mixed Media (apart from a bit on cards). I finally took the plunge (have threatened to for a long time) and did the cover of a sketch book.  The cover started as a white woven fabric.  I stuck on cord in spirals and tissue paper to make flowers and a heavy lace. Added a birdcage for a bit of interest, thus.....

A couple of pieces of torn corrugated card, Fimo buttons and a coat of brown paint for depth....

A couple of sprays of Dylusions Ink - purple and teal. Then a coat of Perfect Pearls

Then I placed a focal point of a Prima Doll Stamp that I'd prepared and a few more embellishments before I committed to gluing.

Then the final finished version.... I added the odd bit of gold paint to highlight some bits.

A long blog, but I hope it helps anyone that wants to put their toe in the water of mixed media.  It is fun!!!!!! Next time I would take the time to undo the spiral and reassemble afterwards.
