Live, Love Dream by Lynne Moncrieff

The
project I am sharing this week was made as a sample for when That’s Crafty
appeared at Stitches, earlier this year.
I had a
leftover frame from the shrines I was working with for samples for the
show. I realised the frame would be a
lovely way to display some of the Word Series stencils onto white/greyboard
tags. Except, I didn’t have enough tags
so had to hand-cut them from one of That’s Crafty’s white/greyboard panels –
another reason why those panels are indispensable.
Supplies
That’s Crafty! Word Series Stencils: Live, Love and Dream
That’s Crafty! Scallop Top Extra Large Art Shrine, MDF Hearts (small size), White/Greyboard Panel 10”x 8” (I did not have enough white/greyboard tags so I hand-cut them from one
of the white/greyboard panels)
Gesso –
Black, White
Stabilo
Black Watersoluble Pencil
Extras:
Pearls, Various Infusions Stained Mop-up Papers
Instructions
Apply
Gesso to the shrine frame, MDF hearts and white/greyboard (it isn’t necessary
to apply Gesso to the white side of the greyboard but it’s something I choose
to do).
Apply
Grunge Paste to all the above but only slight touches on the panel that will be
transformed into tags. Next, apply Infusions, misting generously with water,
allowing colours to drip downwards.
Before
the Infusions dried, I picked up some colour, onto my fingers, rubbing into the
Facia Familiaris. I like to add a touch
of Grunge Paste to the R&As prior to the Infusions.
Before
layering the frame onto the panel, I edged with white paint pen marker, also
edging the prepared MDF hearts.
Stencilled
onto a hand-cut tag is a word from the Word Series stencils. Black Gesso was applied through each word,
using a cosmetic sponge. After removing
the stencil, with the water soluble pencil, I edged each word. This was repeated for each tag, using a
different Word Series stencil.
The
prepared MDF wings were layered with the R&A, giving her a pair of quirky
wings, before adhering to top of frame. After adhering the tags, to add texture and interest, torn pieces of
mop-up papers were layered here and there as were scraps of calico which had
been stained with Infusions. Finally, a
scattering of pearls.
Until
next week,
Wishes
Lynne

Such beautiful color tones, dear Lynne, and wonderful texture, also with the mop up papers, added to the words "tiles" . The idea of using them to fill out, the frame, is making me see it,like an old-age board that has hung in a church , years and years ago.Gorgeous it is !! xxx
