Summer Solstice by Tracey Fairgrieve

Hello Everyone

It's Official the Season of Summer has arrived and today is the Solstice.

Here's my That's Crafty Summer Solstice creation...

Using Stonehenge as my inspiration.

Onto an 8x8 MDF Chunkie I painted the horizon, layering 

one colour on top of the other allowing the colours to merge.

I drew sarsen stones onto a piece of white board and cut them out.

A thick layer of texture paste was scraped onto the stone shape and painted in black.

Using a sponge I dabbed on white paint to replicate weathered stone.

More stones were drawn and painted directly onto the background,

their silhouettes depict part of the stone circle.

Not entirely happy with the dimensions of my focal stones.

...I added some sand paste and repainted in a similar way,

gluing the piece in place when dry.

My interpretation of Stonehenge is complete..

Stonehenge is one of the greatest prehistoric monuments in the world.. 

There will surely be lots of Summer Solstice celebrations taking place today.

Wishing you peace on the longest day.

Creative wishes
