Bondaweb Birchwood Part 2
If you've downloaded the first part of this workshop this next part will be really exciting to you. In this workshop I describe how to use the painted bondaweb to great effect in creating a crusty ancient looking forest piece. You will learn how to collage other materials along with the bondaweb and a simple way to spot composition gaps.
It would be good if you've had a bit of experience on the sewing machine as I describe my favorite 'corded whip stitch' techniques, though it's not essential if you are a 'have a go' type of person you will benefit as much as anyone from this tuition.
