This is another mixed media piece on a wood plaque - approx 7" across. I had a blast trying to get the black costume on the girl to have purple highlights - I succeeded by shading in black watercolor pencil, then painting over with several layers of permanent violet dark (Golden liquid acrylics) mixed with glaze. I did several layers of purple, then did a layer of black glaze and a final layer of purple. The "fishnet" stockings were a remnant of lace - the idea came to me at the last minute.
As usual, there are layers upon layers here including tissue paper, stars, hearts, paint, stencils, stamps, more stamps, and more. I finished this off with a layer of buffed beeswax and matching Swarovski "collars" for both characters!
Kitty has iridescent eyes!
I don't usually do this, but instead of holding this for my next show, I'm offering this piece on Etsy right off the easel. It's priced right, so you can get some holiday shopping done early or just give yourself a halloween present!
This is just lovely! I am so envious you are able to create a piece start to finish in two days. It takes me weeks to do a piece and still then I wonder when it will ever be done. The lace stockings were a great touch.
ReplyDeleteDon't be envious - some of my pieces take weeks (and they're no more difficult). Sometimes (not as often as I'd like, but sometimes) a piece just makes itself.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I picked up a wood heart weeks ago and it just keeps staring at me. I'm insipred. Lookiking at this piece makes me calm too.
