Mixed Media - Dream Notebook

Now Christmas is out of the way and things can slow down a little bit plus back into 
being at home again (tier 4)
maybe i can get back to a little bit of relaxing crafting, i went into my craft room and tidied up a little bit, you know how it gets when your not crafting much and it becomes a dumping ground, well tidied up and started to just look at things, i had found a notebook at work (the Works) and it needed a spruce up so perfect for a getting back to it project.


i just started going through things, found some odd left over letters and numbers so they went on, then i started opening my mdf drawers and found the cogs so they went on,  a hexagon stencil and some paste. then i came across some resin leaves and swirls so they went on, i found some metal stars and pearls half beads, a few more cogs .


when the paste was nice and dry i then used black gesso all over and left to dry again.....
back into the mdf drawers and i found the heart and wings and the Dream title.

lastly i found the resin wings and face so they went on too, all gessod black and left over night to dry and then today i played with paint and  wax
Red, Purple and Orange paints dry brushed on going on with each colour then going back again to the colours and building it up until i am happy with the colour mix but still seeing the black base coming through, and then gold wax applied with my finger, picking up the texture.
