Indoor Gardening by Rachel Harries


I've used a larger Upright this week with a combination of greyboard pieces and a toilet roll insert.
I started off by adding art stones to some of the greyboard pieces.



I then ripped some pieces of teabag paper and adhered them to the flowers. 



I added some art stones to the poppy centres.


I then painted these flowers with a combination of paints.


I added some detail in micron pen and white Posca pen and I used some wax around the edges.


I prepared the Upright and the resin pieces with some black gesso, I only painted the edges of the back plate as I will be adding paper to it.


I sprayed my greyboard selection of cogs and a clock with Ayeeda mists.


I took a toilet roll insert and cut two sections on smaller than the other and adhered the small to create a little interest I added some greyboard details and gessoed.





I adhered this to the base making sure to leave room for the back plate and added some art stones for extra interest, I added a little rusty colour paint just to start the process of getting it how I want it to look.


I  then adhered some paper to the back plate not being too fussy and once the glue was dry I sanded the edges and went around the edge with some Walnut Stain Distress ink.




I adhered the back plate to the base.


Then I position the various element in a way that I find pleasing.


I paint some butterflies from AB Studio with some 13Arts Color Glow and adhere the butterflies.




I hope you enjoyed this project, I really enjoyed bringing a little bit of the outdoors in, stay safe and see you next week.

  2. An absolutely stunning creation Rachel. So much amazing texture and detail and so clever to add the stones for such a wonderful effect. The bucket looks fabulous too and is very clever as well.
