This is a cut down dog treat plastic container |
I adhered deli paper gel prints, and cotton material with Matte Medium |
A free lesson from the Goddesses workshop |
Bits and pieces of lessons from the past week combined to make this spread |
Gulfsprite has been posting daily lessons from an old workshop called Obsessions on her Patreon account. One of those lessons was doing a water color background with layers of colors that compliment each other. That started the journal spread above with the black hair and stenciling. Except for the hair, top and gold and white stenciling, this is all water color.
The Goddesses workshop is available under Christy Sobolewski on YouTube, and is free. I don't remember which Goddess this is, but again, I wanted to experiment with the layering of water colors, and do the downcast face. She is supposedly holding the moon, which is reflecting light. I did use 2 different stencils for the stars and the light particles, with white acrylic paint. There is also some silver water color on the moon and the bands around the neck. White lines are with a white Gel Pen.
I bought some additional Crayloa markers to play with. One of the dogs favorite treats is a marrow bone that comes in a large, plastic container. I used the top ridge as a guide to cut the container down, washed off the paper label but left the adhesive, because I figured it would help me glue deli prints on the plastic. It did, wonderfully. Because the top rim was a little rough and I can cut myself looking at something like that, I cut strips of a cotton fabric and used Matte Medium to glue that on. So far everything is holding up and staying on the plastic. Who knew?
Opens up the thought processes to convert other plastic that would only end up in a land fill. Try it! Enjoy your day, Linda
