Make a Sandwich
Doesn’t playing hard make you hungry—for more art, of course? Make yourself a sandwich. And what is a sandwich but something put between two layers?
TECHNIQUE ONE: Envelope It
CUBED
Sandra Duran Wilson
Take transparency film leftovers and painted book pages and sandwich some leftover collage papers, thread, gold leaf crumbles, a ribbon or whatever tickles you in between them. Seal with spray adhesive or repositionable sheet adhesive. Or seal the edges with staples or ventilation tape for a more industrial look.
TECHNIQUE TWO: Fuse It
Step 1
Take two pieces of fusible web that perhaps you had painted or printed on and add cut-up paper, gold leaf crumbles, cut-up words or numbers—whatever inspires you—and place between the two pieces of fusible web.
Step 2
Put the layers between pieces of parchment paper and heat with a dry iron to fuse.
You may apply this piece directly to your work, or for an even more diffused look, scan it or copy it and use as a transfer or collage.
