So I finally finished the mixed media pieces. It was definitely an experiment. I bought some stencils, spray paint, and some song books to use to create the pieces. After accidentally huffing spray paint and spraying myself in the face once, I was on my way!
There are a number of layers on each painting. The first was a solid color of acrylic paint. Then I experimented with adding the spray paint (thank goodness I was in my back yard or people passing by surely would have thought I was nuts! Then I added stencils, cut song book pieces and modge podged it all (that stuff is awesome). finally I added some little acrylic paint designs and VOILA!
Right now they are currently in a holiday show at Beans N Cream in Cedarville. I plan to put up a separate posting about that in a minute. . . .
The good news is I have already sold them as well! Yay! Their new home will be in a baby's room who will arrive in May. So excited!
