Wall Art

Good evening everyone, 

Hope your week has started well. 

I am suffering with my back again, it is all this furniture moving, 

and more tomorrow. 

We are hiring a van to take the last load from Nottingham to Didsbury. 

Mikey and Frans new apartment is fabulous and they are so excited about moving in. 

So I decided to make a piece of art for their hall way. 

We have framed some photographs for them ,as a surprise , 

but I wanted to make something  special. 

This is what I made 

Hope you like it 

Really hope Mikey and Fran like it too 

I found this frame in the reduced box in my local shop 

I cut three pieces of card 

Then I added some paint using Mr Billy Brayer ( he needed to come out and play ) 

Next I added some blue paint splatters. 

When dry , I added some stamping using this 

fabulous border stamp from AALL & Create.

Next came some grunge paste through a stencil. 

Again this is from AALL & Create. 

On separate card I stamped , added some colour and cut out my designs. 

I matted and layered my backgrounds , 

and then added the focal pieces, using some twine, and mess to add texture. 

To finish off, I added some white highlights with my Sharpie pen, and then assembled the frame. 

I am so pleased with the way this has turned out, 

Here is a closer look 

At each piece 

Such beautiful stamp designs. 

I am looking forwards to seeing this hanging on the wall. 

Have you mounted any of your work? 

It is such a rewarding thing to do.

 

Must go, still lots to do this evening, and an early start tomorrow. 

Take care all 

Much love and hugs 

Jo. xxx
