Under the sea !!

Fun is in recycling something people see useless and love the transformation :-)

This is something I have been wanting to do since long. Finally I have managed to find time for giving shape to my ideas. I love working on bottles be it decoupage or mixed media. I have used chalk paints and color splash from itsy bitsy for painting it along with lots of embellishments. So here it is ...

Hope you like it !!

Behind the scenes

Hello Dearies,

I love playing with colors and so today I am working on a project involving mayhem of colors shades. The title "Behind the scenes" was chosen as the thought while creating this piece was a girl sneaking, hidden behind the wall. Hope I did justice to my own thought ...what say??

Like my previous post this one is also made with almost all with itsy bitsy products :-)

So here we begin ....

I took a mini canvas and base coated with gesso. I used modelling paste and stencils to create background textures.

I used spray paints to create effects in background.

Then used some metallic paints here and there until I got the desired effect. Our canvas is now ready for some more decoration.

I used stamps from to create embellishments (figurine and leaves). To create embellishment from stamp, I stamped on card stock and painted it using distress inks and brush. Then cut and use glue dot adhesive to give it dimension when sticking on base board. And fences painted in white. 

Then arranged all embellishment on the canvas base I created.


Here is what it looks like :-)
