Dream Art by Lynne Moncrieff
00:00
This
week I am sharing another sample made for Stitches. This time, instead of a shrine, it is the
frame of the shrine, layered to a That’s Crafty! white/greyboard, which I
discovered was the perfect size when paired with the largest shrine’s frame.
This
project is about how we all dream art and how creating art inspires us all.
(NB – I
didn’t have enough That’s Crafty! white/greyboard tags and time was against me
for ordering more, so I hand cut two tags from one of the white/greyboard
panels)
Supplies
That's Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard Panel – 8”x10” (if
handcutting tags – 2 panels will be required)
That’s Crafty! Word Series Stencils – Dream, Art
PaperArtsy Lin Brown Stamp Sets – ELB30, ELB32, ELB33
Stabilo
Black Watersoluble Pencil
Extras: Mop-up/under paper, vintage button, cotton thread
Instructions
After
applying Gesso to frame and panels (my preference but not essential), apply
Grunge Paste to frame. Once dry, apply
Infusions to both panels, misting generously with water, allowing colour to
drip downwards. Leave to dry (you can
use a heat tool but I prefer to leave to air dry).
Prepare
MDF heart with Gesso followed with crackle paste and Infusions. To the wing, apply with fingertips,
Grunge Paste, applying only randomly and not covering the complete wing. Again, stain with Infusions.
Now all
elements are dry, first, add stamping to one of the white/greyboard panels and
frame. Add white paint pen details.
Adhere frame to this panel.
For
second panel, hand-cut two tags (or use That’s Crafty! white/greyboard
tags). Stencil a word onto each
tag. Add details with random stamping, layering
of torn pieces of mop-up papers and doodling with pens. Layer, with more torn pieces of mop-up paper
to the prepared frame.
To top
of frame, adhere the prepared heart and wing, embellishing with stamped word
and vintage button.
Finally,
stamp words (taken from That’s Crafty! stamps – so many useful words within those Inspirational Quotes), adhering to
artwork, within the frame.
If you
take a look at the shrines, you will see there are a variety of styles and
sizes.
Until
next time,
Wishes
Lynne
