Violin Canvas

Violin mixed media canvas

wooden violin, metal and wooden embellishments, gesso, paint, art sand, 

After spending a week or so swapping craft rooms, well i had spread over 3 rooms so wanted to get it back down to 2 rooms and swap them over, 

the sewing room and the scrapping room, to be able to have to hand what i needed to use without having to go down the garden or the other way depending on what i was doing, so that's what i did, i now have the sewing room in the cabin down the garden and the scrapping room in the spare bedroom, all things in the right rooms, and all (well very almost) sorted.

Yay back to crafting!!

its very hard to get the colours right in the photos, 

it very much has a pinky feel to it !!

i found this violin, its one of those build your own lazer cut ones and a perfect size to go on a canvas, 

i stuck it down using 3d gel and all the embellishments too, gesso'd the whole lot black.

 added lots of texture using heavy body paste mixed with glass glitter, i added some art sand here and there using 3d gel .

i layered up with the flowers and leaves, as each layer goes on i black gesso again becuse if you wait till the end its hard to get in all the nooks and cranny's ,

 i have found that out the hard way lol

once everything is stuck down well, and all black i then went in with some colour, it has cream, green purple pink i just very gently brushed over the surface with a long bristled brush, firstly putting the paint on the brush and then brushing it off onto my glass cutting mat, then just very gently you don't want to get heavy splodges of paint brushing over and building up the colour, you can go back and reload the paint off the glass mat.
