October 19, 2017 at 10:33 am (2 years ago)I’m a tag person and I *love* this technique — particularly the layering! I’m always afraid of piling on . . . but I guess if you just let it dry between layers it works out fine! Guess I’ll be pulling out my tags and my heat gun….
Sandra L.
October 19, 2017 at 11:05 am (2 years ago)I love tags and am always looking for new ideas!
I just bought my first three Distress Oxides last week, so am trying to find interesting ways to use them.
Jakki Garlans
October 19, 2017 at 11:06 am (2 years ago)I love these tags. At the ripe old age of 66, I am in the process of beginning to make art. One of the hardest things I’ve faced so far is making spontaneous art marks – I love seeing people make marks, it helps my mind realize the possibilities open to me and gives me a sense of freedom. Thank you!
