Hello!!!
Here i am to share my experiment with mixed media project. I wanted to try mixed media work and i bought a mini canvas, which i taught ll be perfect for a trial.
"Eat Healthy", this is what i wanted to do as this ll be used as a fridge magnet... Yes to remind my self to stop eating junk foods and eat health... This is what my husband insist my every time when i pick a chips packet from the supermarket, he always picks fruits and healthy cereal snacks....
Now I am little conscious for my lil one inside... yes its gonna be sibling for Sushant (my son 3 1/2 years old) in another 7 months...
Let me tell a bit about the canvas... As i dint plan anything before doing this, i jus went with the flow. This mini canvas is 4"x4" size, i gesso'ed it completely with a even coat, added some PPs (it isnt showing as told, no planning :P) and added tissue paper and gesso'ed it..- which came in some shipping box for packaging... yeah yeah i used a scrap in my project.. :P.... then the right time to embellish it.. the best glue i found is glue gun .... i added some mulberry flowers from prima , recollections and stash, some charms , resin flowers, pearls, etc... One thing i understood is if ur planning to dry your project with heat gun, do not use any plastic base embellishment, like my pearls and a plastic flourish i used started bubbling slightly , and i stopped heating it... after all the embellishing and its set to go for a gesso .. yes i gesso'ed it compeltely - a even layer and let it dry for a while and then spraying...
Spraying - Coloring - I was soo confused at this point, i did some experiment a night before doing sprays in plain paper, and on a gesso layer to make sure how the color looks... I had only dylusion spray with me and i went ahead and used it ... I did a random spraying of a yellow and teal/blue colors and after it was done was badly missed a shimmer feel.... so i sprayed in some smooch spritz gold shimmer color (i was soo soo worried if this ll work), but not bad it come out pretty well, as a first time , okay... Hope my coming works might be improved...
Thats it Done....
Must mention this, i really than mallika for guiding me how to start on and gave some useful tips ... Thank you soo much di..... :)
