Mixed Media Canvas - Part Two: Finishing Touches, More is More!

...here it is, part two of my mixed media blog post!

THE FINISHED CANVAS!

so, this is what i THOUGHT was gona be the final finished canvas...

LOOK AT ALL THE BEADS, BUTTONS AND BITS!

BUT, then i added a few more buttons, gems, metal butterflies and some silver nail varnish to a few of the elements:

this frame is gona look so nice with a photo of someones loved one/s  in it♥

so, thats it, its taken me a few weeks, doing bits here and there, then adding bits here and there... its been a labour of love, but ive LOVED doing it. i love the combination of colours and bits and bobs!

AAAAND... the canvas IS for SALE, so if youd like it, post a comment below, or send me a tweet @cLare_beaR_ or a message to my jewellery facebook page: www.facebook.com/butterfLypiex for prices, shipping info etc!

Mixed Media Canvas - Part One: Stages,Progress and Stuff!

hello, and YES, ive been doing more mixed media, i cant get enough of it!

here are some photos of the different stages and the progress of  the canvas, and ill mainly let the images speak for themselves, but ill tell u bits here and there. this post is VERY photo heavy, so be warned...

i added some ripped lines of paper to a white square canvas, the sprayed a bit of red and green, then added my mixed media elements...

i then painted the elements with some gesso, meaning that the sprays and paints would 'stick' to the plastic and metal pieces better!

...then, more spray/paints!

 then, i added a bit more gesso to certain elements of the canvas...

a bit of  watercolour drippy-ness...

 i then used some gesso and lilac emulsion paint to make some circles using a cup to print.

 then, more spraying...

these are all the progress shots i took of the canvas as i was painting/spraying it, and the next post will be part two, showing the finished canvas with all the added buttons, pearls, beads, metal elements etc!
