The Craft Barn: Embellisments

Saturday, 7 January 2017

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are all wrapped up

warm and cozy on this fine

chilly day!

We have Hazel Harler to talk

us through her stunning canvas

so get yourself a cheery cuppa

and prepare to be A-mazed....

"For my project I used a 6" square canvas board

First I cut some vase shapes out of corrugated card

having the ridges go different ways,

then I glued some wooden shapes and pearls to them.

The vases then had a coat of gesso

I coloured the vases with acrylic paint.

then sprayed gold foil Color Bloom on the blue vase,

brimstone wings on the pink vase and

dragonfly blue on the pale blue vase

I used my finger to spread some Treasure Pewter over the vases

I stencilled some modelling paste through a Dreamweaver stencil

and gave it a coat of gesso when the paste had dried.

I watered down some acrylic paint , dabbed it on the canvas

and sprayed with water letting it run down.

I put the paint on one colour at a time drying it between colours

I thought it was a bit pale so I added some yellow

paint and some red Gelatos I also splattered some frost Color Bloom

I used my finger to spread Treasure Pewter

over the modelling paste and went round the edge with black ink.

I stamped some Paperartsy tulips.

I coloured the flowers with pencils and cut them out

I'd stamped extra flowers so that I could 3D the central petal.

I glued all the pieces to the canvas."

Thank you Hazel for your lovely canvas

giving us spring flowers and cheer

I'm thinking this will look lovely on my

mantel shelf and remind me that

spring really is just around the corner.......

'Till tomorrow
