Playing with Fire is what they’re calling the show over at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City. I love New York City…great museums and great art shows. I found the information on this show from the blog Handful of Salt. The show opened yesterday and goes on through April 3, 2013. Plenty of time to get over to the museum to check it out. Love me some fine art glass!! And this show is celebrating 50 years of studio glass! What’s not to celebrate. There are over 100 pieces in this show. Enjoy!!

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.
