The colors, textures, design is just perfect! This is another type of technique I would love to try. But, as you know there are a bizillion different types of "art". I've already had to put a third mortgage on our house to fund my habit! (joke)
As, Always, this is beautifully designed!
I do believe the bee charm, is Perfect !!!
You should teach us, Carri....
Very inspiring work you ALWAYS COMPLETE !!!!!
That you can create something so detailed on such a small canvas is so impressive to me! The shine of the gilding and watercolors is just amazing and I bet even more incredible in person. This bee is a perfect touch and was definitely meant to be a part of this work of art. I love the way you added it using an eyelet. You are just so creative!
WOW girl, every week you come up with a different technique & I am blown away by your creativity! This is stunning & yes what is a hive without at least one bee, perfect! Love the colors, the beads, just the whole look is amazing!:)
Wonderful technique work, Carri! I think it needed the bee and you're right about the microbeads looking like pollen! So what, exactly, is gilding? My husband used to be a beekeeper so this was pretty cool to see!
I love the way these came out. The texture and colors are so rich. The microbeads look really good. The project is very artistic and interesting, wonderful to look at and see all the details and elements.
This ATC was a lesson in gilding and metallics. I added two photos one with the bee one without As I stared at the ATC I decided it needed a bee, you can decide for yourself. I punched the hexagons and painted with metallic watercolor, some I added waxes. The background I used a stencil and modeling paste then painted with acrylic paint. On top of the paint I added the gilding. I used a #6 pencil to highlight some of the hexagons and lines. One hexagon I added micro beads; it kind of reminds me of pollen.
