Before I show you what it is I will show you what I made with it:
Just look at that sumptious texture with my favourite motif - flourishes, yay!
The object itself I think is a hot plate/trivet for teapots? It's got an Ikea label on the back so it probably wasn't that expensive in the first place, but it is just 'so me!'
It's all embossed so I'll be able to use it for so many things, embossing (obviously), clay impressions, crayon or wax rubbings... and what I did in the above pictures, printmaking. I covered it with some Black Soot Distress Ink and printed it on a piece of scrap paper (above) and all over a large piece of lining paper (below):
This was me getting my hands dirty:
I was thinking that I might use this paper either inside or on the cover of the Altered Book I started yesterday.
What a great find!
Thanks for reading,
See you tomorrow,
