I am back creating with Sir Vagabond Aviator this week and have created a 10" square home decor panel using lots of mixed media techniques. 

To start with I had some scraps of rice paper having used the focal image for a secret project that needed to be used and so I  feathered the edges with water and pulled off small amounts of the paper before adhering them onto the canvas with Decoupage Glue - Matte. Once that had dried I added some Structure Paste through the Walls and Pipes Stencil and again left it to dry before filling in the gaps and scraping with a palette knife over the stencilled areas and rice paper some White Crackle Paste. Once this was dried I added a little Green and Chestnut Lasur Gel to the white areas - wiping back the surface to leave the colour concentrated in the cracks and around the stencilling. 

From the 8 x 8 paper pad I chose the paper with the clock on it and then fussy  cut using a scapel around each of the main rings of the clock creating three pieces which I added with Mixed Media Glue to some Kraft coloured mount board. Sealing the papers on top with more of the glue. Once these were dry I cut around the out edge of each piece keeping the central mountboard pieces in place as I knew that I was going to stack them on the final piece. 

Whilst these were drying I fussy cut the Stature of Liberty, Lady Vagabond, propellers and words from the papers and also prepared some cogs and the crow. The cogs (left overs) but lots to choose from on the website if you search for greyboard were painted with Mahogany, Brick Red, Cookie and the tiniest bit of Indian Turquoise Allegro paint. Spritzing with water to allow the colours to mist (don't overstaturate though as the greyboard will fall apart if you do).

The crow was cast with Amazing Casting Resin using the Fly High mold. Once set the cast piece was primed with bonding fluid before painting with Anthracite, Dark Grey, Light Blue and Old Ivory.
