Mixed Media Collage Ornaments With Ali | Creating Layers

I'm back today with the next video in my series where I'm making mixed media/collage ornaments. 

Check out the first post here.

In the video I'm sharing how I'm building these ornaments using layers. I also photographed each one I've done so far so you can see them up close and see the magical mess! 

I think I'm at 37 on my way to 100 and I got out the gelli plate to make some more papers today. 

Here's a fun image of all of them together so far:

      I experimented with drawing my own ornament shape, and it worked out fairly well.I also remembered I have ornament dies from a few other sources and am going to see what I can do!

    They look great together. Image transfer using clear avery parcel labels or tape could be fun to do as well

    I'm loving seeing all the ornaments together. I can't wait to get the stencil and make some ornaments. Thank you for the inspiration. I loved the dark red paint you used. Do you know what color red? Golden has several reds.

    One of the things I love about this is its perfect for us Jewish and/or interfaith families as I can easily make ornaments out of blues, gold, white, and silver papers and hang them up or add to an album as an element. So accessible. Thanks!
