Over on Snazzys the Design Team are challenging us to make something inspired by Finnabair. Well, I have been massively influenced by Finn, although I haven't been fortunate enough to go on one of her workshops. I made this canvas board in her style, using a Crafty Individuals' image from their Miniatures book where she might have used one of her photographs. I adhered multiple items, mesh, and stencilled embossing paste for texture before applying gesso to the whole piece and then applying shimmer sprays. I then went back to the gesso for some white highlights. I hope you like it. It took a long time, going back and forth until I was happy with the effect and I found it very challenging.
Tomorrow I have something completely different over on Unruly Paper Arts for their Metal edition. It is a set of metal pails filled with herbs. I would love you to pop over for a peek.
Fabulous array of elements Lucy, well worth the time it has taken.
