Hi all
I have been watching a few tutorials on You Tube at Finnabair inspired projects. The lovely people I watched creating their Finnabair projects were Angela Holt, Jennings644 and CreaBoetiek and many more. I then typed in Finnabair into Google and found her blog - wow so inspiring and I hope I have done them all justice with my attempt.
First of all I prepared a canvas using modelling paste and stencils then various paints and sprays.
I then printed an image from the net and placed it onto the canvas. It sat there for many days before going onto the next step
I dived into my treasure box for various pieces of jewelry, metal flowers, butterflies, leaves I purchased from Butterbee Scraps and the odd wooden pieces from my stash and stuck them around the image. Lots of odd chain, earrings, pen nibs, rings were used and even a watch I had laying about
I then gesso'd the embellishments
I then sprayed them using the same coloring's as the canvas. I used black around the image and edges of canvas. Finally I added inka gold
Well thats it really and I apologize for image overload. I hope you enjoyed your visit and that you will come back again.
Hugz always
