Working with Art squares, Golden crackle paste, Acrylics and Lumiere metallic acrylic and Pearl Ex pigments.
Here is the step by step run through -
 |
| Apply crackle paste to the Art Squares, and draw your pattern (I used a skewer) |
 |
| Once dry apply a wash of acrylic |
|
 |
| Add layers of acrylic , remove areas of colour with a wet wipe until you have a colour balance you are happy with. |
 |
| Sand back for a more distressed look |
 |
| Muslin stenciled with gesso and stitched. |
Note to self, never throw anything away... This background so nearly went in the bin months ago. It wasn't working for me and certainly was wrong for the project I was working on at the time.I am so glad I tucked it away in my "reject box" !

If you are unsure of what "found poetry" is here is the definition.
"Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and re framing them as poetry by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning."

| Finish with beach combed finds and display on driftwood. | | | | |
