With Brave Wings, Mixed Media Birdhouse

With Brave Wings She Flies.
this is from my latest Dt kit from Louise at Thompson craft supplies
loved playing with this and getting all mucky with the paint and waxes.

you really cant see the colours too well in these photos i tried 3 different locations to take photos but they just aren't showing very well at all.
it has a purple and red background then dry brushed with gold and red waxes.


for this i used the .....

i also used a paste, leaf stencil, some glass bead texture gel, red and purple imagination craft paints, red and gold wax and other randomness that i found i my stash.
i used some gel medium as my glue.



firstly i used my leaf mould and paste to add the decoration to the main bird house,
 i then added some extras to my birdhouse, the apex roof is some waste mdf from other items i have just cut them to shape and used a wood mould and paste on them, packed underneath with some more waste mdf to give them a more 3D affect off the birdhouse.

i then added my top....pointy thing on the apex roof......whatever you call it !! cant think lol
 i painted my background with the black gesso and then added my embellishments and some glass bead texture gel here and there and let it all dry hard.

i then painted the whole thing with the black gesso

when it was all nice and dry i dry brushed with my purple and red imagination craft paints and then with my red and gold waxes, keep going back with the different colours until you are happy with the result.
lastly i added my title.
the paint brush wa going to be a sign post for a longer title but i really didn't like covering the butterflies and flowers on the stem, so i changed it, cause i can lol.
