I saw this idea of tissue collage on Tyvek. Normally, I don't alter the surface of Tyvek because it is the surface that I find interesting to work on. The wallet project, however, might make a good Tyvek collage. In fact, it creates a more substantial feel to the finished product. I already had my drawing in place. I tore patterned tissue and stuck it down with Elmer's glue (according to the instructions I had) It works fine! After it dried, I went over part of my lines with the Sharpie pen I had drawn with. I put a glaze coat of Orange Interference Acrylic over the whole piece. I added some Inktense Watercolor Pencil and used a gold metallic pen to fill in around the heads. It turned out quite snazzy! I love metallic sheen and shimmer. The finished wallet has a leather like feel to it with more body. Want to try one? Send me a photo to share.
You've given these ladies so much personality. I love their poses and all of the texture and color this has. It's so much fun to see all of your experimentation.
