Fabric, Buttons, and Art Papers
The finish work is done on my little mixed media project inspired by Folt Bolt's March color scheme. Like many of my projects there are things I would have done differently...but I'm pretty happy with it.
You can see the steps in this project in several previous posts.
I am a big button fan...so added a few more.
I used a thin layer of gel medium to adhere it to the front of the panel. This gave me the opportunity to make sure it was centered and secured before I fused the border which is backed with Wonder Under.
Then I clipped, wrapped, and ironed. I had barely enough fabric to wrap around to the back....next time I'll make sure I have a little more.
Because I wanted to make sure that the sides were fused well I used a piece of the release paper as a pressing cloth. I didn't want to risk scorching the fabric while I ironed.
There are a few bumps and lumps and that might have been avoided if I put a thin layer of batting under the front like I did on the last one. There's always next time.
