Back to nature this week

Hi all, today the girls have been busy making their projects with a nature theme.  I was a bit lucky that I had the mixed media class on and I was able to have a play while demonstrating all the different products on my canvas.  I didn't get a chance to finish it, but I felt that I really needed to have something up on the blog today

My project I did step out of my happy place, and I used orange....; now for me that is like one of my least favourite colours ever.  But I picked this calendar up at the $2.00 shop, and there was this beautiful fairy picture that I loved, well half the group did fairies so I guess it was a popular calendar.

Add caption

 

The picture was still wet when I took this photo and I do have a few additions to make but you can see where is is heading.  I have added NZ fern, the mushroom, the birdcage, and the large flourish, as well as some rectangles and some stars.  I used the circle stencil bottom right, and some stamping.  Imagine if flowers and metal embellishments, lots of sprays, pearlex powders, kindy glitz, gel medium, gesso, modelling paste and leaves.

So I still have some work to do, but I am liking where is is going and no black or purple in sight.  

But I will be having a play with a few more branches and some leaves, so lets see where it gets to next week.  

The rest of the girls have been having a play, so time to check out what they have been up to.
