Be Yourself

Hi all,

I am so excited to be part of the Polkadoodles Ula release party. I love playing with this little lady, " Be Yourself" which you can find here These images are perfect for all genres of craft, however Nikky has designed them with Art Journaling and mixed media in mind.

I have loved getting loads of my stuff out to have a play with. This is a piece of packaging that I stripped back a little to reveal the corrugated card & painted over with Black Gesso. I then did some stenciling using indigo Blu stencils and various mediums Super thick slap it on, Lindy stamp gang mica powders & white Gesso.

I added some drips coming from the top with the Lindy stamp gang powders ( turned into water colour ) and some Kuretake Gamsi Tambi paints.

I painted over a little frame with Black Gesso & then added some Pebeo Gilding wax to it & to the edges of the main projects, including the exposed corrugated elements.

I created a ribbon out of the sentiment, coloured using the left over Lindy watercolour and distress inks. & finally I added a wire hook & embellished with a piece of broken jewellery The jewellery had pink details to it which didn't really match so coloured all the gems with one of my purple copic markers to make it tie in.

This now hangs by my desk in my loft, where I craft.
