Oh, Marylou - I think this is my favorite piece you have done!!!!! I have been saving little found objects and springs and such just waiting for a time to use it all on a canvas! What an inspiration!!!
Oh my...what a beatiful piece of art! Lovely colors and so many exciting details to look at! I'm glad you tried mixed media, because you have made an amazing canvas!
Wow!! No one could tell this was your first mixed media. Very professional. Love that you used items from their work. BTY Thanks for the lovely comment on my LO.
Wow! You totally rocked this, my dear!! Love all the metal and goodies you used here; every time I look I see something else new and interesting! Beautifully done, and yes, isn't gesso the most amazing substance?? gotta love that stuff :)
OH MY DAYS??? You have rendered me speechless (congrats on that)!! Honestly? Jealous my sc. Yep, not the best trait but can't help it?!! I have wanted to do one of these for so long but not brave enough yet. Seeing your truly BREATHTAKING achievement has now set me back even further, lol!! You KNOW I mean it in the best way?! STUNNING & then some!!! WOW.... I actually have goosebumps?....... :))))
WOOHOO! I finally did it! I have looked at all the mixed media's that you lovely people have been doing & I finally got up enough nerve to try! So much fun putting all those little embellies on the canvas. I did this for my son & wife, and many springs & metal pieces are from the fly reels they make at their work. I sure hope they like it, if not I want it back!:)
This is an 8x10 canvas, gesso'd twice & then added embellies like lace, dry wall tape, burlap, wooden letters & a Cheery Lynn flourish. I did 3 coats of gesso, drying well between coats. Then I sprayed with Heidi Swapp Color Shine. Through this process I found a new friend "gesso"! I love how the sprays cling to metal, paper, plastic covered in gesso! TFL & have a blessed day! Hugs~Marylou
