Hello friends! This month I am the guest designer over at Maya Road. Yay! :) Here is the first of three projects I created for them...a 6x6 mixed media canvas.
I quite enjoyed the process of created something cutesy for a change...*winks* I've included a short tutorial to share how I created this project.
I started by adhering some medical gauze with gel medium to the canvas. Then I used The Crafter's Workshop stencil with some Golden fiber paste.
When that was dry, I coloured with some Faber Castell gelatos, blending the colours with some water. Then I applied some Liquitex heavy gesso to really bring out the textures of the gauze and fiber paste.
For the Maya Road chipboard pieces, I first painted them with gesso then with Golden and Daler Rowney acrylic paints.
The last step was to assemble all the components together.
What do you think?
