Although clinging onto the thought that we may have a little summer left to enjoy, especially as we will be away for a weekend camping in a couple of weeks i also love autumn, the evenings drawing in and long evenings of crafting.
the colours of autumn are my most favorite, although i love all colours!!
i really enjoyed making this log slice from .thompsons craft supplies along with pretty much all of the othere elements, the metal leaves and papers, inks, stencil used on my back ground, can you tell i am a fan of Louise.
i firstly painted my log with clear gesso so that it would take anything else i chucked at it with ease, when it was dry i added some thick paste through a lovely leaf stencil and allowed it to dry, may have given it a little help lol !!
i then added some colour, mixed media inks in red, orange yellow and green, a spritz of water to get them all moving around and then dried it off.
i coloured and added some mdf, the honeycomb, and some leaves, the twigs (from an old vase full i was chucking away) all stuck down with 3d gel.
i added some cheesecloth.
cut out the photo of my grandson Oscar and mounted him using some extra packing on the back, he is quite high off the log,it is all very 3D
i also added my fussy cut pumpkins and title.
poked a few more embellishments here and there, the metal and paper leaves.
then i covered oscar so as not to get a splodge on the end of his nose and splattered with a bronze watered down paint.
i just love this!!!
