My adventures with Mixed Media
Day 1was mostly prep work - using Joint Compound (like you'd use on walls to cover nail holes) on both sides of a canvas bag, a brush roll and pieces of muslin. We'll be working on those master pieces in Day 2. We also worked on a canvas. The prep work for this was just to cover one side with Gesso. Then we started with our creations - using back paint to start a back ground with words, stencils, etc. On top of that we added paint more joint compound and glaze.
Here's the start...

At this stage it doesn't have the final joint compound and glaze. |

I added the joint compound - splotches plus I used some stencils to create raised images - letters and words. They are a little easier to see in the final picture. |

Finished and ready to hang. |
I can't wait to start Day 2. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
This was so much fun that I want to share. I'll be planning a class in the near future - stay tuned for details. If you are interested, email me!
Happy stamping...and creating!
