FROM SEA TO SHORE..


Hello Everyone..

Finally made it back,  been busy last couple of days doing this and that, but I think I'm all caught up now, so can share another project I did..another before and after..


Quite a difference..

There was nothing really wrong with this canvas I just needed something to do and was not using it, so I decided to change it..


So I painted it white..




Until it was all white....

Then I missed a step and actually painted it all black...forgot to take a photo..


Then added cheese cloth..





Found my embellishments and buttons...


Flowers and straws and anything else laying around...old curtain rings and washers [my tap will start dripping now and I will need a washer..]


And out came the black paint again and this time 2 coats...then sat around waiting for paint to dry..


Then finally started with the ink sprays..


Added some shine with Nuvo Mousse.....


A close up of the butterfly...I made the arrow out of cardboard for his body.


And there it is, all done, quite a dark piece but when the sun hits it..boom..there's a lot of colour and shine..

So there we go, thank you so much for stopping by and I'll see you in a couple of days, I'm babysitting my youngest Grandaughter tomorrow, so that should be fun..

Luv CHRISSYxx

I am just about to add something similar to this Chrissy, its been playtime it would seem. I love this, it looks fabulous and I know what you mean about when light hits it, I am still toying with adding some more light to mine, but see if it grows on me...haha..x

Wow, what a transformation Chrissy! It looks amazing, love the way you never waste anything, use the most ordinary 'non arty' objects and create beautiful art!
Enjoy your time with your granddaughter!

You are truly amazing in how you "re-think" your art designs and go in a totally different direction with it! I just LOVE it so much and how you were able to transform this into a cool mixed media project! I hope to be doing some of this very soon myself! Thanks for the inspiration!

It was beautiful before but I love seeing the transformation. What a wonderful way to use those odd bits. I can image how wonderful the after piece shines in the light. Amazing creation, Chrissy!

Wow, what an amazing mixed media makeover! Love the new moody look - so dramatic and atmospheric with those shimmering shades against the shadowy darks of the background. Fabulous 3D collaging with all those embellishments - a treat!
