I Wanna Be a Unicorn

Especially if it is as beautiful as this one, this is the frame from the Thompsons craft supplies February mixed media kit, it was a bit smaller than expected so couldn't do what i originally had planned but had a plan B straight away, as was eager to use my unicorn!


it is always really hard to get the colours true in a photo, there is a bit of a plummy tinge going on as well but i just cant pick that up in these photos!! 


i love the imagination metallic paints and tend to go round and round for ages gently adding paint until it is just right, it can take some time lol



adding the gold last to add the finishing high light of sparkle



with gesso on the frame for some texture, some die cut leaves on the base, black gesso all over, black is a great base colour for these metallic paints. then lots of paper clay leaves and flowers and the odd acrylic flower in there too.

just love it !!
