I took a break from fabric this week and played around with gooey stuff. I'm not even sure I can tell you how I made this piece, but I love it, and I'm attempting to do it again. This piece is 11x14 on canvas. I started out by applying a gorgeous teal blue tissue paper to the canvas, and then added some layers of paint. I used matte gel medium to build up some texture and impressed a fern foam stamp into that. This took a couple of days to dry. Finally I washed some green and rust paints on the piece, let it dry again, and then rubbed some iridescent paint over the top. There might be some other steps I've forgotten - who knows! I just kept adding to it until I got the results I was looking for. I'm just hoping it wasn't a fluke and I'll be able to accomplish similar pieces again ... stay tuned ...

This is a wonderful work of art and I certainly hope you will remember every step you took. I just love the texture and the colours are just wonderful.
This is fantastic!! The colours and textures are great. It looks like you actually have the leaves imbedded.
This is a beautiful piece. You will probably remember when you start to work on another. I wouldn't wait too long though.
