Below is a shrine I had been working on I'm at the point where I feel it needs something more, but I'm not sure what but knowing my muse an idea will eventually come to mind. Scroll down to see my creative process.
10. Here's the front view, the hand is from a bird feeder that broke, I had been saving the hand for awhile now...I dry brushed the hand lightly with bronze acrylic paint. Then I added the nesting at the bottom and eggs and feathers. As I said I don't feel like the piece is done yet I'll post another picture when I finalize it.
9. Here's a side view where I've added more wire and then white washed it with white acrylic paint and gesso.
8. Here you can see I began forming a bird cage out of the wire I added.
7. After that I wrapped blackened wire around the nail at the top.
6. Here's the Front side of the Canvas you can see I've hammered a wide head short based nail into the top.
5. Here's a side view before glazing.
4. Then I glazed over the entire piece and stamped with some gesso and Krylon's gold leafing paint and then another layer of glaze.
3. This is the backside I stamped with some stazon ink and added pieces of torn decorative paper and then some molding paste around the edges of the paper, once it was dry I sanded it lightly.
2. Here I first painted it with acyclic paints and then added Modern Options Patina and a bit more acrylic paints.
