Mixed Media Stuff
I've just finished this small mixed media wall hanging and i'm really liking it. I started out with a flat piece that i cut into different sizes, adding lots of stitching and beads and a hand made fimo button in the centre, i then mounted it onto a book cover that i gesso's, painted and repainted with shiva stixs, I like using them although they do take a while to dry being oil paints in a stick, amazing things

Love all the detailing but the buttons are tiny worlds...really interesting to the eye and works of art all their own...(button just doesn't really capture all the color and texture going on there...more like "accent pieces" perhaps ?)
ReplyDeleteOh Krex there's only one button in the middle and the others are french knots lol is that what you mean xo
ReplyDeleteVery eye-catching piece. I also love mixed media of fabrics. Reading your post makes me to try more. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much Terri xo
