Just for once I am quite pleased with something I have created - for some reason I am suddenly taken with collage -this is called 'Once Upon A Time' and the inspiration was Fairy Tales, in a grown up sense with a Persian feel. It is done on block canvas, painted black with acrylic paint. I have used decoupage and have sculpted pieces from polymer clay, added pewter charms and 'jewels' and my favourite relief paint in gold, skeleton leaves, the bird is drawn and cut out of some paper with tiny gold crowns printed on it, the heart is also cut paper that I drew the heart shape on. The Persian style stencil trees are my own design and I cut the stencil from acetate , stencilled in antique gold enamel paint. The only problem I have with it is the quality of photograph as no matter what I do I get either poor colour representation or reflected light which produces a sheen. I am putting this one up for sale, will post on a group I belong to and see if anyone likes it enough! Hope you like it
