The theme for Illustration Friday this week was "Winter". I used a photo shot in my herb garden a couple of years ago on a very frosty morning when the sun sparkled off all of the ice jewels. It was breath taking. Although winter in Michigan seems to be a long, drawn out endeavor, it's beauty can entice anyone to come out for a closer look.
This mixed media piece was made using an 8x12 color photo with the emulsion dampened for distressing techniques. The different materials and mediums include; sand paper, watercolor pencils, photo pens, permanent markers, gel pens, glimmer mist, thread, sewing machine, ephemera, specialty papers, vellum, antiquing ink, and tinsel.
These are really really beautitful. What do you end up doing with them? Make cards? Sell them? They're gorgeous....
ReplyDeleteWell, I would like to end up selling them. They're a bit big for cards. They're almost 12x10. I hope in the future to open an Etsy shop. Right now I'm creating to that purpose. I recently left my job to pursue art more seriously. Thanks for your comment :)
