To fascinate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After doing my background I tried something new for this piece, I began layering wax paper between painting, gesso and inking. When the board was completely covered in wax paper I added the netting for the heart, the sentiment ( using the wax paper transfer technique ) and embellishments.
gesso
acrylic paints
gel medium
wax paper ( straight from the kitchen )
misc. netting ( love those fruit netting bags, don't you? )
Liquid Pearls
Prima embellishment
butterfly wings ( bought from Walmart as a hair clip which I removed )
puff paint ( for the butterfly body )
Farber Castell, Pitt Pens ( love these!! )
Charcoal pencil ( finally used after having it for several months! )
brick stencil ( new favorite stencil, love it )
alcohol inks ( need more colors, they are addicting! )
distress ink and daubers

Hi Sandee, I think your creative mind was on overdrive on this piece. So many textures, colours and so much to look at. I love the wall at the back, the heart is beautiful, as is the butterfly - a really stunning piece and the sentiment is perfect. Crafty hugs, Anne x
ReplyDelete...Sandee this is an awesome piece of work, it made me smile immediately...I loVe It...Mel :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandee love the background of this project x beautifully decorated with lots of techniques and texture. TFS Annie x
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful hanging. I like how you described the AIs mixing with the paint. It was mesmerizing to read. I can only imagine as it was happening.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love freebies and the netting is always a fun thing to incorporate. And of course, I like the sentiment, too!
You don't have to tell me how far behind I am. I'm slowly trying to catch up. I would love to put my computer in the shop, but then I wouldn't be able to eat for a month (grin).
This is absolutely beautiful Sandee. I can't say I understood really what you used and did but I do know I love the result :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandee,
ReplyDeleteOh, love this! Hmmm, I don't think I have a charcoal pencil. I read on another project that they used the same kind of pencil. Maybe I need to go shopping......
This came out beautiful! Is it going in your shop?
Hugs,
Kay
