Family Heart

 A quick play time last night produced this, 
its really hard to get the colours correct on photos but this is as near as i can get it.
sometimes its really nice to have a quick start and finish in one session, other times it can take a few days with drying etc, i have a layout sat on my table that has been ummmed and arrrred about for the past week....it will get there lol


this is probably closer to the colour in these two photos.
i have started with a rice paper, its a finnabair one, butterflies, flutterby or something or other!!
they are a great base to start with.
I've then added some texture with a stencil and paste.


very inky fingers again, sloshing it about is always fun!
ive used a piece of a box lid, stripped back to reveal the inside, much more interesting , then i have inked it along with some cheesecloth, 
coloured the feather and mdf so it all ties together colour wise.



the flower has also been coloured with watered down ink and a blast with the heat gun, they do dry very quickly and pick up the colours very well, this is from pretty gets gritty, they come, white and natural coloured ready for you to colour yourself.


"family" coloured to match using a finnabair wax, a couple more little embellishments ,butterfly, small flowers, some gems and some bead paste here and there.
finally a splatter with some watered down ink, a lovely little finish in under an hour.
