Today I am going to share my first piece done for a Challenge Blog. I am extremely pleased with how it turned out. The challenge is for Mixed Media Monthly. The challenge is `Butterflies and Blooms`. Check out the challenge and create your own piece!
I just happen to be loving using flowers and butterflies right now in almost every single project I make so this was a perfect opportunity to create.
I started with a 8x10 Canvas Board and a small 2x2 Canvas. I adhered
the mini canvas to the board and embellished it with some old hard, dried paint brushes, flowers, buttons and metal pieces from my stash. I of course used of butterflies and many flowers. Once I was pleased with the look of everything I covered it with White Gesso. After that was dry I painted it pure white with Liquitex White Acrylic Paint. I used a colour I have been really into lately a turquoise blue. It is Adirondack Stream Alcohol Ink. When I was pleased I attached a small butterfly to the corner of the mini frame and voila!
So go check out the blog Challenge! I hope you enjoyed. Feel free to leave any questions or comments below.
