Neville

Another playday and decided that I wanted to experiment with the alcohol background that Wanda gave us.
I started by gessoing and then layering colour onto my background.


Next, as advised by Wanda, I got everything ready for the next stage. I did the bottom half first and discovered that my paint was too watery and the effect of the alcohol didn't work. so I dabbed coloured alcohol ink into the surface instead.
However the top half worked as my paint wasn't as watery.


Next, I printed some feathers onto some mop up paper.

I stamped an "Ellen Vargo fence" in the background and stamped some of Darcy's flowers. Stamped Neville and assembled my page. 
Just wrote a message in white pen to finish.
It's a bit of fun and I enjoyed playing. Thanks Wanda!

  2. I love the effect of this, Hazel! I always wish I had more alcohol inks because they look so vibrant and effective. I think Wanda is such an inspiration, there is a freshness about her work that you have clearly been inspired by here too. xxx

  4. Hazel,
    This turned out brilliantly. You have really been busy since I last visited. I can't even say when the last time I posted on my blog was. I think it may have been in June and that is sad. Love your reduction stencil page on PA.
