Hello there! Let me first say this project was nothing like I envisioned. I thought I was going to make a "night sky". Apparently, that is not how it went. I guess I need to practice with those colors some more. So, the project turned out much lighter, delicate and feminine.
I love it!
Even though most of it is hidden, take your time with your bases. It's your foundation for everything else. I distressed the base with purples and blues and embossed lettering. I kept going with the colors until I was satisfied with the intensity.
Mixed media is all about "mixing" different types of media. This piece has waxes, embossing powders, acrylic paint, moulds and chipboards. The trick is to blend them in a way that is pleasing to your eye. Also, sometimes it's about what is in your stash. Do I emboss the clock or do I paint it? Well, that is entirely based on what you already own!
I love layering! It's all about complimenting the pieces around one piece and not letting anything else distract from the main piece. In this case, the dragonfly. The second main attraction is the harpsichord. Although it is slightly hidden, it peeps enough to let you know to pay attention to it.
For feminine pieces, I love adding pearls and shimmering stuff to my work. I chose white pearl wax instead of glitter. But use what is in your stash to make it your own.
Thanks for stopping by today!!!
