In my random wanders on the interwebs looking for interesting glass topics to write about I found this web site, Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass. What a great site. They have memberships and give grants and sponsor events. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are announcements of other events and links to sites and they profile glass artists. This month is Stephanie Trenchard. Lovely lovely work. And the other artist can provide so much inspiration. This site is definitely getting a bookmark and I think joining would be a really good idea…

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.
