Play time

Got my mixed media morsels experiments started

Distress paints + cling film smooshed on top & left to dry overnight:



Gesso followed by distress paint + cling film smooshed over the top & left to dry overnight, this one worked!

Paper collage background + stencilled image over the top & added white pen details on the left page
Distress paint (2colours) dried, layer of diluted paint added over the top & splashed with surgical spirit whilst the top layer is still wet.

Paint / alcohol detail

I also finally got round to trying Tracy Scott's portrait series from Craft Stamper magazine 
Her eyes are a bit too close together and her nose is squint, also the tip is too white! This was done with a mix of acrylics & water soluble pencils...an interesting experiment & I need to practice more!

  5. Well done on trying the portrait series from the magazine. I thought about doing that too but as usually I have millions of things I want to do! Great ink and paint effects on those pages too.
