Hello
This beautiful That's Crafty! butterfly is one I return to time and again although this was my first time stamping it onto an acrylic tile, allowing the stamped script on the first tag, to peek through.
The stamped word "pausing" is set apart from the other stamped words, as a means of balance to the composition but also set within the torn squares of Infusions stained book text, a meditative prompt.

Another step in preparation, applying Gesso to book text followed by Infusions. I prepare a stack of book pages, with the Gesso and then dipping into various Infusions, misting the Gesso'd paper with water before sprinkling on the Infusions, sometimes titling the page to allow the stain to drip and then laying flat, to air dry.
