It's no secret that I love texture. I decided a while ago when I purchased this cityscape that it would not go int he normal form of a book. It would be a long shelf piece. I dug in last week and began getting some of the work done on them. Mostly right now just the main textures have been applies and OMG.. I love them all. Lots of pics here to show off all the great textures. like I said their far from done. Just showing some of the progress! Also came up with some great new techniques.. they were messy but they were soo much fun.

| One of these is in straight course sandpaper and the other in canvas. I haven't decided if it will stay a creamy canvas or be treated with some color. |
 |
| Who doesn't love this texture??? This texture is brought to you by Helmar Adhesive. That's right its adhesive. Scrap dots glue. Love the rubbery feel it gives! |
 |
| Who doesn't just fall in love with this! Alittle Staz-on over the top to pull up that texture even more. |
 |
| Some lovely Gritty molding paste and then misted for this great texture! |
 |
| Love the stoney texture here! |
 |
| This still needs trimmed a bit of the paper that dried to the back but I love this texture. I'll probably add some color to it. Its not glitter it's the wonderful little pebble balls. The name of them is escaping me right now. |
 |
| Of course this is not done.. just some color play on the perfect green building.. texture to come! |
 |
| Alittle molding paste to add some great texture here. |
 |
| Some corrugated cardboard.. sanded it down a bit and painted it. Once again colors not done, but off to great start. |
 |
| I saved my favorite for last. I wanted something that imitated some stonework. I fell in love with this! I have tons of duct tape. For this I took some white, tore it off into pieces and then put on non stick mat, then I painted, while paint was still wet, I coated in embossing power and then heat set. OMG.. I'm in love, the texture the feeling and look. Just amazing!!! I heat set some areas longer to get a black on some of the pieces. |
Ok that's its for now ladies. Hope it spunked something in you. Get in there and craft. Try something new!!
