Dreamer of Dreams

I created this piece just for fun. Sometimes its good to foget the deadlines and just go with the flow.

The background of my piece is made from tissue and a stencil and I love the outcome.

I machine stitched the piece to a piece of card and then added to an MDF piece.

The rusy nail was given to me by my friend Jo, she knows me so well. I also machine stitched two vintage ruler pieces to the background.

Chicken wire adds a further texture to my design.

I added a couple of cross stitches and added a clay face to my little vintage tin. I love adding vintage pieces to my artwork.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x

Be Different

I created something just for fun today and I really enjoyed the process.

Sometimes its wonderful to just create because you want to create and no other reason and this piece is the result of a couple of hours of just going with the flow.

I am a great love of clay faces and I knew I wanted to incorporate one in this piece and this is using one of my favourite moulds.

I found some tacks in my stash and I really enjoyed hammering them into my canvas and they add such a fun element to my design. I love using items that are a litte quirky.

With the tacks in place I had to wrap some cotton around for added texture along with some soft silver wire behind my face, adding cheesecloth for further interest.

I added Mint Green Paste over an AALL&Create stencil and added a wash of Distress Paints once the paste was completely dry to age a little.

Before applying any of my elements I added a coat of Vintage Photo Distress Paint to my canvas, giving the perfect aged backdrop for my design.

I really enjoyed being a little different today!
