I'm back tonight with a mixed media canvas that I completed today. It's not my favourite piece, but it's growing on me. I keep seeing so many beautiful projects being created on youtube & I just wish I could create them too.
This canvas is quite big, it's 30cms x 40cms, so there was a lot of space to fill!!
I had a dish I'm my drawer that I was putting little random things in, so I went through that & added most of them to my canvas. There's die cuts, scraps of lace, metal charms, foam letters & numbers, paper clips, buttons, seed beads, glass stones, plastic embellishments, a safety pin, metal gears & left over dried up dribbles of resin.
I added it all to my blank canvas with a thick gel medium & waited for that to mostly dry, then I went over it all with about 3 coats of gesso to make everything white & ready for colouring. After that was all dry (with the help of my heat gun), I added some sprays. Some were Dylusions, some were Glimmer mists & some were home made shimmer sprays. When all of that was dry, I used my Nuvo embellishment mousse with my finger & went over the top of pretty much everything to give it even more shine.
As a final touch, I went over some area's with some opal glitter glue. You can't really see it in the photo's very much, but it really makes it so pretty in person.
That's about it for this piece, I hope you like it :-)
