A new texture I am having fun with -plaster and newspaper pages. I sealed these with polymer medium, and then layered watered iridescent bronze, some other acrylics and a bit of distress ink on top. Delicious and dilapidated!
Both of these are part of my new sister-project journal, which is off to a great start, and providing a much needed stress release & distraction.
And note the colour in that last one. Dude, I am soooooo not afraid of colour anymore! My colour class with Julie & Chris has now wrapped up, and it was a great learning experience. I would highly recommend.

I love what you did with these!! Watered bronze is awesome.

Amazing! I am so jealous because the only thing I'm good at when handed glue, plaster and acrylics is gluing my fingers to the plaster and acrylics.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :) Yes, I love this texture! I wouldn't mind making a whole book of plaster pages to work in...with wires... *ideas brewing*
ReplyDelete@Deb The Layer Love course is by far my favourite so far. All are really good, but that one is da bomb!
Love the texture- and the color. You've inspired me to continue working on all of my incomplete videos from the Layer Love class I took with Julie but didn't get to finish!!
ReplyDeleteThey look gorgeous....I love plaster!
ReplyDeleteI've just restarteddoing regular art....I'm trying (and at the moment failing) to build up a portfolio of work before I apply for an art therapy course.
Your blog has inspired me....I've got so many ideas now that my head might explode!
thank you.
