I especially enjoy making art this time of year--I'm pretty much hibernating now with our nasty winters that we get here. I'm not on a time crunch like I am later in the year so I thoroughly love the process of creating. And I also can take the time to stop and take photos of my art process for you to see and maybe give you some inspiration to try this too.
Here's the finished piece:
This is a dimensional piece that was a bit time consuming but very fun to do. So as you can see it's collaged with papers that I hand painted. I love painting papers and it's somewhat of a warm up for me. I started out looking for objects in my studio that I could make marks with on paper--
And I like to paint some textured papers also:
The one painted in blue is a textured wallpaper and the one painted in yellow is from an Etsy shop--HimalDesign --great hand made papers there!
After a fun day of painting papers--I have my palette ready for my art project--(the other papers were painted on 110lb cardstock that I get at Staples--office supply store)
So going into this project I knew that I was going to transform these 2 pieces--
The wood square is actually a cradle board that I got from Dick Blick--I just flipped it over so it could be used as a shadowbox. And the wood heart frame I've had forever--I found it at Michael's and I'm pretty sure they don't make these anymore--it fits perfectly over this 8 x 8 cradle board.
The next part for me is fun--I look through my plethora of embellishments and vintage finds that I have everywhere in my house. I like to make my story before I actually put the art together--
sometimes I find other objects as I go on, but the main theme will stay the same..
Next comes the paper collage part--
I made a template of my heart frame, marked a grid design on it, and numbered each piece, cut them and used them as pattern pieces for my papers that I wanted to collage on the frame
Next, all my papers went on the different surfaces--
I like to use gel medium to adhere the papers and these papers are fairly thick with the paint on them, so I like to wet them down before I put on the gel medium--it makes them more pliable and easier to work with. You could also use Mod Podge, but I prefer the gel.
So now everything comes together--
.....and don't forget the sides! I pretty much use E6000 for the gluing part and I nailed the heart frame to the cradle board.
I hope I've given you some inspiration to take some time for yourself to play--whatever your creative outlet is. This was very fun and relaxing for me--great therapy for this time of year!
P. S. Right now you can find this piece is in my Etsy shop HERE
