Animal Farm

Hi There!

This week we are going

to play with the animals

To be specific the new

Zinski stamps by PaperArtsy

Here's Helen Chilton to get

us in the mood

One of a Kind door sign.

Cut your mount board to the size required

 and blob on some gesso.

Next sprinkle the Brushos into the Gesso -

I used Alizarin, Lemon Yellow and Turquoise

Then take a credit card or palette knife 

and scrape it out - instant colour.

Here's the piece fully covered and with

 a few nice scratch marks for texture.

I then decided to knock it back a 

bit with some stencilled gesso.

Nothing too precise, just rubbed on

 with a baby wipe.

Then get stamping with the Zinsky rabbit...

 (I think?)

To colour in I've added the same Brushos 

to white paint for a pale-ish layer....

...and then used neat Brushos to add

 darker shades on top.

Add white paint to bring out the eyes 

and then stamp a bunny ear border. 

I've also added extra pattern 

to the upside down one.

I then over stamped the border in black 

as I didn't think it stood out enough 

and printed the words on the computer.

Here we go with some chain and washers added.

A close up of the 'one of a kind'."

thank you Helen

Love the inspired treatment

of the odd one ...  Her expression

seems to be saying "what?  

How did I get here?"

'Till tomorrow
