that Y'all are tired of background papers. Well I'm not,
soooo I wanted to show ya how I did this one...
Mostly because I was asked how I did it and luckily for me I
took photos.
AND to show WHAT was ON MY EASEL @BladeTheArtist
AND to show WHAT was ON MY EASEL @BladeTheArtist
I started with a gesso'ed newsprint page from a poetry journal I read and carded on some azalea
(not Salmon) paint. Then I used a stencil that I daubed with gesso in select
areas. Streaked on top of that with thinned down orange paint.
Stamped a bird with sepia ink, a dragonfly in medium/light blue
paint, and a butterfly with a dirty looking brown dye ink. I had hoped that
heat setting the last would work...
The blue was too bright and stand outty, so to quiet it down
I used a music stamp with gesso and then used an iridescence medium over the
top of the whole thing. And when I did that most of the butterflies drifted
away. But I liked it anyway and hope that the person who received it in Dede's ongoing-background paper swap likes it too.
One has just got to love making background papers with Paula layers.
