She…
…happily transformed into an artist
I created this canvas a couple days after I quit my job as a paralegal to become an artist and workshop teacher full time and realizing how good I feel about this. I wanted to use some of the Prima supplies that I hoarded for a while cause I was too afraid using up some of my favorite supplies. But sometimes you just have to use your supplies :)
I first painted the Canvas on the edges and the frame with acrylic paint.
I ripped some of the paper and glued it down. Then I used a Prima mask with gesso over the mask to give this some dimension and texture and sprayed it afterwards with Glimmer Mist.
As you can see I used some left over Rub Ons and rubbed it partly over the textured areas – especiall when I had the feeling that some parts would have to be connected, as not having floading elements. I added some Glossy Accents on top of the butterfly to give them some dimension too. The butterflies are also great to symbolize the Transformation I’m talking about in my little journaling.
One of my favorite supplies the last months is Glass Beads by Golden, I just love how it gives texture and lets everything shine through. I also love that it is not taken off the Glimmer Mist even when you sprayed before and even though it is a wet medium.
So why not gather some of your left over supplies and make a fun Mixed Media Collage?
