HOW GLORIOUS!!! This makes me smile on such a drabby day! You have got me very interested in the MS mold/clay collections. I haven't started buying any yet, but I love what you do with the pieces you create and use them on your LOs! The perfect embellishment for adding here or there. Amazon.com sells them too. Your red/yellow spray experiment turned out perfect!
Another with colour punches & bling - again, great match to focal picture. The vibrancy is great & my favourite texture at the moment is corrugated card, so cool to work with :)
This is so stunning! I absolutely love the photo (sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers!) and your amazing background! Very sunny, happy, and gorgeous!
oh my gosh-I LOVE this, Melissa! One of my friends told me she saw a sunflower with corrugated cboard yesterday that she loved-I can sure see why! The cboard looks fabulous-fave!
Super fabulous! Love the colours - it's a love life, in your face kind of attitude for the sunflower and you have captured that on your LO. Love all the molded embellies, and the corregated cardboard is amazing.
AWESOME mix of techniques and textures. Love your little sunflowers; beautiful work on creating your own personal paper. You have a creative flare for mixing all these medias and coming up with something SPECTACULAR. LOVE the colours and the pretty pic. Your work should be displayed with a DT, in my opinion.
Fantastic, Melissa - I can't tell you how much I really love this - Sunflowers are flowers with attitude - they'll grow almost anywhere to immense proportions and they don't care what you think if them - love how you embellished your photo to show the attitude of this flower - love the orange (not usually one of my favorite colors)textures, the photo of Princess Hyacinth, the jewelry, the beads and the corrugated cardboard - this has to be one of my all time Fave's of yours and it's definitely going into my FAVES - you really need to ZOOM IN TO MACRO TO GET THE FULL IMPACT ~
Wow, this is so pretty. I just love sunflowers and this LO is stunning! Just a dream. I'm always amazed with what you come up with! Very creative with the sprays.
Thanks for looking. I sprayed red on cardstock , then sprayed water on. It was too red. I sprayed yellow on, and it was too orange. I put more water on and let the excess drip off by holding it sideways,and saved what ran off. I took a bunch of rubber stamps and stamped all over with what was wet.The colors determined which photo to use. I took this at the bottom of Highland Ave in Northport, i think. It could have been another street. The photo before this shows the view i took of the harbor from up the hill. I thought about including it but it wasnt that good. I love this photo because i love sunflowers! And Im actually pretty happy about the way this lo came out. The image on the left is Alphonse Mucha , Princess Hyacinth. I like it because she looks like she has an attitude. The photo in my photo album shows Highland Ave looking down towards the harbor, then this photo, so i figure the flower heres on Highland. The earring on the upper right of cardboard is from my sis.
For the cardboard, i put on gesso, then acrylic paints in yellow, green, orange . Lumiere paints. Utee , verdigris , gold embossing pwders. Mica pwdrs . Stickles, alcohol ink. The Mucha image is from free photos of something or other in the vintage poster range,sorry ive had it for awhile and cant remember exactly. Not hard to find though.
the little sunflwoers at the top and bottom of the princess image are from sunflowr charms pressed into sculpy clay, baked, then painted with acrylics, lumiere and diamond stickles, and green gel pen on one. You can see the charm i used at the bottom left of the pic. I put glossy accents on it, then gold leaf,then pressed it in with a paintbrush and my hands. Yellow butterfly at top right is a rub on from Paper House. bling at right on edge of yellow is say it with pearls prima. Cant remember where the swallow brad is from. Butterfly at bottom right by yellow is K, BW Flora and Fauna Nature Illustration. Scroll under photo is Tim Holtz, has acrylic in yellow and green, then crackle. Orange tulle at left under orange ppr . Also under Princess Hyacinth. I talked about street names in here because some people here probably know Northport.
