Gothic Arch: Gold
Je laisserais tomber une averse de roses.Je dépenserais mon paradis en faisant du bien sur Terre.
For my St. Therese shrine, I started with two arch cut outs made with pearlescent champagne cardstock. I covered each with a wash of gold acrylic paint and then stamped on the text. I cut an opening in the top layer for the St. Therese transparency. Next, I folded little fans of peach colored tissue and machine stitched them around the arch. Once the stitching was in place, I opened each of the fans to make the flowers. I added a little gold paint to the tips of each flower. The French text is printed on gold metallic paper and aged with graphite pencil. A little charcoal and artist crayon surround the arch. I joined the two sheets together with pop dots for a little dimension.
Making these arch projects is new to me and very enjoyable! You should check out the Gothic Arch blog and try your hand at one today!
See you tomorrow! It was a great day for trash today..I've got a lot of new cardboard to alter!

Love the colors here--so muted and peaceful.
Just (finally) finished my collage for the mission--Thanks so much for hosting this swap! It was great fun and pushed me a little outside the comfort zone, which is always a good thing!
Beautiful art! Love the dimension of the flowers!

Wow Julie. It's awesome. Love the gold and texture fromt the tissue.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! You do these so well!
Very lovely, I do love the gothic arch shape and you've made such a beautiful piece here. Wish my French was good enough to understand what the lines say!
This is really cool. When I first saw it, I thought, why did she put peanut brittle on her arch? Sadly, not peanut brittle at all.
What trash? I love St. Theresa
Beautiful work. I love the way the text matches and enhances the arch shape.
