Anything Goes

Hi everyone Dee here with my latest post for the anything goes week

I hope you are all having a lovely summer and are getting a nice 

break the weather has been a bit hit and miss but I am very

lucky to have been away twice. 

I did this using Andy's new stamp set birds and bones from #Stampendous now available 

from Di. I stamped the lovely Skeleton and poison words onto

 tissue paper and using titan buff painted the reverse side.

I cut them out and placed to the side.

I soaked some mod rock in water for a couple of minutes, then

squeezed out the water and played it across a media board. 

I heated up beeswax pellets and once melted I  started 

to layer it onto the media board. I also used some

graphics 45 paper which I pushed into the warm wax

after the first coat. I continued to layer the wax till I

 was happy using a mix of pan pastels and oil pastels

to create the burnt edges.

Once happy I placed the skeleton and poison words onto the warm wax

 and gave a final coat to seal them. I pushed in a rusty washer & attached 

rusty wire to the top. I was very pleased with the outcome looking 

'Very Halloween' with the hint of the paper and the mesh from the 

Mod Rock peeping through. I believe that you should achieve a 

smooth finish with the wax but felt that the uneven finish was more

suitable for this piece 'nothing to do with being unable to achieve this'!

I hope you all have enjoyed my piece for you today and you can

see how versatile these Tando media boards & tags are

for all your mixed media art. 

Please don't forget to let me know what you think!

Cheers Dee x
