Edit: Got a frame with glass for £1!!! Painted it to match painting , then distressed with a sanding block :D
Well this is the pice I came uo with after watching a brilliant free art session from Tee Thompson, which she performed in a food restaurant as her internet was down at home! Can you imagine that happening in Britain?? So a big THANK YOU to TACO BELL for keeping the art flowing :DThe idea behind the class was to make art without expense...other than the paint itself, so the base is a pices of gery board from the back of an old sketchpad, with layers of old desk journal pages to add strength and interest...
picked 3 water-soluble crayons and...
smooshed with water and fingers lol(no brushes allowed)
Next I made rings by using acrylic paint and lids from my bit's n bobs jars, and scritchy-scratchy marks with a plastic fork from a salad ready meal.
More smooshing to highlight circles with inktense pencils, and the blue blobs were made with the bottom of a shaving brush I use for distressing inks :D
I did,'t have white ink, so I added white acrylic with the tip of a small paintbrush handle....
and splattered more white over the whole piece with an old toothbrush.
And I am quite pleased with the finished piece :D
I call it "Bubbles Bouncing" :D XXX
Love it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!

ReplyDeleteIsn't if funny, you see bubbles but in my telescopic glasses (they help me see in the distance) I see a universe with planets. It looks a really colourful place to live. :-) xx

DeleteThis is brilliant Gina love how cheerful the colours are - I too see planets xx
ReplyDeleteHow pleasing to the eye, Gina. This is quite clever. I will have to try this with my granddaughter on one of my babysitting days. When I do, I will share the results. Hope you are well and that spring arrives soon for you. We are at the beach now. Hoping that it gets warmer today. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteOn the Beach!! It actually reached 12 degrees on my back steps today, doesn't look that cold but doesn't make me want to venture into the garden lol
