I decided to have another go at painting with grunge paste just like Liz did on her day #1 PA project this week. So I took a large mdf cog and set to it.
I gave it several layers of brown shades of fresco paints, Irish cream, mocha mousse, chocolate pudding and French roast.
Added stamping with PA minis, alphabet, mini bricks and flourish in black archival ink.
I then stamped the PA image from ink and the dog plate, wings #3 and one penny #4 although I now have this image in the wooden variety. I cut them up and mixed them about a bit to create one main image. Water coloured the image with my new colours of distress markers, gathered twig and evergreen bough.
And putting it all together I used the pieces I'd previously created on a T!m Holtz CC102 day using UTEE to achieve the pitted effect on the clock face and the wings, and finally added a couple of metal pieces.
Sorry the photo is rubbish, but I missed out on buying a portable daylight lamp at the show on Sunday from Clarity stamps, and the weather here is torrential rain and extremely dark, so really could of done with it!!!
Looks gorgeous, Sam, may have to try painting with GP today! Hope the rain stops...
ReplyDeleteCogs are great to alter. Nice job! :-)

ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous project. Beautiful colors combination and witch is likely to jump from the huge clock and cogs at any moment. Spooky midnight!! I love it.

PS MYlo is on antibiotics at this moment, because he had a little wound in his leg that got infected, but it is healing now and I hope is isn't coming back. But it doesn't seem to bother him; he is playful as always.
Brilliant! So effective, Sam,
