Live Inspired

A little mixed media piece I created using Finnabair pastes combined with a Relic piece from Prima (Sandra Evertson).

I used a Prima Tray as my base coloured with Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic. The background has been created using Finnabair's Rust Pastes applied through a stencil.

I added book pages to the centre which I crumpled and tore to add age and I also added one of my favourite Relic pieces to the centre.

I added a small embroidery hoop for added dimension.

Expression is taken from a book page and I also added some cotton threads and rusty tin wire for added texture.

I also added numbers from Tim Holtz Idea-ology along with a few Remnant Rubs. Original is another piece torn from a book page.

I love how in this picture all the layers are visible. I also wrapped rusty tin wire around the embroidery hoop, again for added texture.

To complete I added "Live Inspired" to the top of my tray. I also aged the Relic piece by giving it a wash of Raw Umber DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
