I went to previous Crusades, and am finding quite a few that I would like to try. Here is the “Irresistable – Wax rubbings” challenge…my version of it. I used the Anaglypta Wallpaper which is textured paintable wallpaper as my ‘stencil’ for rubbing. The papers are gorgeous, more than my pictures show. I used 8 different patterns on lightweight columnar pad, light fabric paints, and of course crayons. Easy peasy backgrounds. Give it a try.
Here is a scan of the right page – cannot seem to get a good image at all…sigh. Click on the pics for a larger image – it does help!
