Steamed

Today I'm once again joining Erika, who many of you know as Bio Art Gal.  She is also this month's host at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is When It's Hot.

It's hard to miss the title of this page.

Yes, these boys are definitely

caught under the steaming pot.

This is a steam pot where water or broth is heated

then dispensed through the

spigot.

I started by laying down bits of paint using a faux credit card on a used file folder.  After the colors had dried, I added more paint colors through a home made stencil.  Unfortunately most of the background was covered with the focal image.  I also added star shaped punchinella, or sequin waste.  Instead of wasting the extra paint, I turned the punchinella over and rubbed the backing using a faux credit card.

Next, I cut the old fashioned steamer from a cookbook and sewed around the pot using variegated thread.  I then added the word I sewed around twice using the same variegated thread.  Finally, I added the two TH paper doll boys under the spigot.  I attempted to ground them to the page by placing the older one on the shadow of the pot's base.

As always, thanks so very much for joining Bleubeard and me today, and we hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.
