Hi Friends
I recently attended a Mixed Media Workshop (Floss Workshop Art) and had loads of fun. Here's one of the things I made.

| The final result |
There are 5 more pictures of the process to see - so feel free to skip to the end if you don't want to see each stage!
 |
| Step 1: Tear up old pages, sheet music, ephemera, then glue on with Mod Podge. |
 |
| Step 2: Add Gesso around the edges of the strips and randomly around the piece. |
 |
| Step 3: Spray on some colour, then wipe some of it off so that you don't lose all the detail. |
 |
| Step 4: Add acrylic paint through some stencils. Step 5: Glue on some punched-out leaves then add black gesso around them. Add highlights with a white gel pen. |
|
| Step 6: Finally, I added a little stamping to the top, then mounted my art onto a larger piece of black card. |
The 2½ hour class went by in a flash. As well as making the above, I also made a bookmark and learnt how to make an ugly page in my art journal a lot more pleasing to the eye! RE-sult!
I want to get the scrap papers and glue out now Sarn, I absolutely love what you have created with all the textures and elements.

ReplyDeleteInteresting technique with torn papers Sarn, thanks for sharing the step by step of your lovely card! It's a great way to use scraps of bit&bobs and you know that this is just my fav cup of tea! I love also so much the effect before the painting. So many possibilities! :)

This is SO inspiring Sarn! Think I might have to do a little gesso study...! Hygge, Vicky xxx
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the process of someone's creation, it gives an incite into the thought processes and everyone creates differently - the workshop must have been a great experience - a fabulous piece.
