Altered Jar......Mixed Media

So from the very relaxed week away on my retreat it was back straight into a very busy working week so not much time to play.
but that out of the way i have managed to start creating again, this has been waiting since before the retreat, it even went with me but never got past the gesso stage lol.
not any more here it is finished and i love it.

with all metal embellishments glued onto the gesso base that had some bits in it like glass glitter to give it some texture, then all painted white so i started off with one colour.



i then added some colour with the imaginations in sprays, an orange and a magenta, love the resulting colour mix.


with the owl as my centre piece,
 i then added some silver wax just on the metal embellishments, 
this made them pop from the rest of the jar.



i could use it as storage maybe for buttons or as a vase maybe, 
i cant decide lol
