Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed-media canvas.

After priming the canvas with white gesso, I glued crumpled kraft paper to add texture. Next, I covered the paper with white gesso and added white crackle paste. I leave the canvas to dry naturally to allow the crackles to appear. I used black gesso and a lot of water to color the background.

I primed all the cog chipboards with black gesso. I embossed the Fans with a silver grunge embossing powder. I covered the Jumbo Cogs, Mini Cogs, Cogs and Gears, ... with Graphite paste, then black gesso. I highlighted the details with Old Silver wax.

To alter the Cog Cluster and the Insdustrial Border #2 I used an old tip. I covered the chipboards with white glue, then with black gesso. When heated, bubbles will appear and give the texture of wrought iron. I highlighted the details with Brushed iron wax. 

I primed the Leaves #5 and Mini Foliage #5 with white gesso. I used black and brown Distress Inks to color them.

I glued all the elements of the composition with a 3D gel. I added shadows around the composition with a mix of black and brown paints. 

To finish, I added silver glitter.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed-media canvas.

First, I glued a few scraps of collage paper on the left side of the canvas with a soft gel. I covered the right side of the canvas with white gesso and the collage paper with clear gesso, as I wanted the script to be seen. When everything was dry, I added a design with the Floral Stencil #2 and paper paste. With my pallet knife, I smeared the paper paste carefully on the right side. 

When everything was completely dry, I painted the canvas with a black liquid acrylic paint watered down. Next, I used two shades of grey mica to add shine to the background. I used the darker one on the right side and the lighter on the left, again to allow the script of the collage paper to be seen. 

I primed the filmstrip #2 with black gesso and the rest of the chipboards with white gesso. I just distressed the edges of the flowers with black ink. 

I started the composition with the larger elements: the Filmstrip #2. I cut the Wildflower #5 into smaller elements to add under the photo along with the Daisy #3. Next, I add, the Christmas Berries #1 and the Wildflower #5.

To finish, I added silver glitter.
