A bit of mixed media..

Good afternoon all and thanks for popping in today. I am just home from our workshop,,.early today as it was local so not much driving and the lovely ladies helped with all the tidying....in fact I was a very lucky girl and had lots of wonderful presents today...thank you all....

Today we got a bit ' down and dirty ' and had some mixed media play time,,.

I wanted to try and recreate the look of Chinese lacquered furniture ...have you seen it? I just love it...

Not everyone's cup of tea though....

We started with a simple wooden box from Creativ, added some Grunge Paste, through a Clarity Stencil, some embellishments....

And then the black gesso....followed by some Inka gold , and some gilding wax...

Just look at what the ladies made..

I just love how they are all so different

Fabulous work...

And no two the same

Even the inside of the box was decorated.

Well it does just finish it off,

Now there are many different ways of doing this and some crafters like to paint the embellishments with gesso before adding them,,,,it is what ever way you choose...also mica powders are another way of adding the metallic shine....it is up to you,,.

Thanks for your company...I am off now to walk the dogs...it is dry at the moment...

We have had some rather horrible hail showers today..

Enjoy your evening all and remember Hochanda on Sunday and Monday with our Barbara...

Much love and hugs.

Jo. xxx
