Paper Castings






I finished up these paper casts for a challenge on GPP. Most of them were done with toilet paper, except for the dark brown with the gold. It was made with water soluable paper like used in machine quilting. I also wet the tissue with Moonglow inks and highlighted with metalic rub on wax.
Now I just need to incorporate them into a mixed media project!
