layering and embellishment

Working with printmaking I often have to break away from a
limited palette and play with multiple layering and embellishment
on fabric.  The following two pieces involve lots of different
materials.

Swirls of blended acrylic on a scrap of
canvas are highlighted by curls of
hammered wire and clusters of seed
beads.

A red acrylic base is enhanced by layers
of tissue soaked in white glue followed by
shavings of oil pastels and crayons.
A light application of heat with the
embosser melted the shavings just enough
that they adhered well to the tissue.
