Hi there Soul Sisters...
My turn up on the blog today to share with you some inspiration. Mixed Media canvas for you playing with some metallic paints and Chipboard. I have been eyeing off these Dusty Attic wings for a while now and wanted to showcase them in a project.
Here is my process..
I started out adhering the chipboard and stones on the canvas. I also used some lace for extra texture in the background and painted it all in white gesso.
I began adding colour to the piece by layering in concentric circles moving inwards. I went from lightest to darkest and being more frugal in my applications as the deepened.
I made sure to dilute the colour with water on the brush and applied it directly. I then sprayed a mist of water to get it too run into the deeper layers. I avoided adding colour to the wings as I wanted to make them a focal point.

Once done I dry brushed some white gesso over the texture to push the colour deeper into the background.
I added some crackle paste... and a little rub of wax onto my stones.
Coloured some Cheesecloth.
Popped my focal point on top of the cheesecloth and added some string in a halo.
Used some Glass Glitter, Prills and Beads on my flowers. I wasn't really happy with the intensity of the embossing powder so I muted the colour with some wax.
And a little bit of black archival ink with a blending tool over the textures.. and a bit of a dry brush with some gold paint over the chipboard. Some art stones to finish off my focal point. Here's a close up of the texture with the fabric.. Thanks for looking.
