Through SAMA, Society of American Mosaic Artists I found out about mosaic artist, Rachel Sager and her amazing art. She recently won Best in Show in Mystic Art Center‘s Art in Pieces show “Hemispheres”. The exhibition runs from October 1st through November 13th with an opening reception October 7th. But check out the gallery’s web site to find out more information. And of course check out Rachel’s to see more of her lovely mosaic art.

Create Stunning Cards with Solar Paste
Solar Paste created by Simon Hurly for Ranger Ink is a paste that looks very unassuming at first. It’s an almost white, light color with a creamy consistency that’s subtle on white cardstock but it really comes alive when applied to dark cardstocks. It comes in 6 different colors that each have a cool metallic shift.
Kristina decided to try it out and created three cards with different techniques with some amazing results. For one card she used the Solar Paste with a stencil, for another she created her own simple background with different colors of the paste and lastly she designed some flowers and leaves, all on dark black cardstock. She mounted the panels on white bases and added white heat embossed sentiments to complete each card idea. She’s sharing a video tutorial on making these cards with some tips for using the Solar Paste.
