This is drop dead gorgeous!!! You did such an amazing job with this piece. I love all the flowers that have replaced this pretty lady's hair, such fun! Outstanding work top to bottom. fave
What an incredible work of art! I am enthralled by all the details! The floral hair with the dripping of beads is just stunning. Dawna, this is amazing.
This is so GORGEOUS! You make mm look so simple! But I know its not! Love the colors and all the elements you used to create this! And her eye just pulls me in!
Well, I've been agog over this since I saw it on FB yesterday and now that I've read your process and seen the closeups, I'm even more so... Dawna, this is absolutely stunning and beyond, from your inking and coloring, to the gorgeous flower headpiece to the flow of the paint and beads!!!!!
Such a masterpiece! Iv'e been staring at it for five minutes, looked at all the steps and this is magnificent! Love the sweet stencil and how you colorized the pps and your beadwork is indeed a labor of love! Love the tiny bit of soft pink beads near her cheek!
Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a mixed media canvas that I created for the Mixed Media Challenge. It's the first time I've ever worked with rice paper, and it was a lot of fun! My rice paper was only 8x11 but I wanted to create it on a larger 11x14 canvas. To accomplish this, I used script papers and added a frame boarder. I colorized the lady and bg pps, stenciled the lattice bg by mixing deep violet acrylic paint and texture paste. Then I added all the flowers and hand set all the bead work one at a time using a pair of tweezers (as shown in the close ups, that was a real labor of love)! For finishing touches I splattered black and white acrylic paints with a fan brush, lightly distressed the frame with black ink, then used antique gold wax around the frame and title frame. Thanks so much for dropping by and having a peek! ~ Hugs, Dawna
