Butterfly In the Mist

An old gift card  is used to paint acrylic paint over scrapbook paper on the birchwood panel. The card creates a unique hit & miss of paint.

More stamped pattern. Rolls over the edges as well.

Gel medium is used to attach the butterfly that was cut out of a book page. 

Then color is added to the wings.

A bit more patterns painted on and final wash of white across applied, then wiped back to reveal the "Butterfly in the Mist."

PAINT -PAPER-EGGS OH MY!

 “These eggs are broken. Cracked."

"Yes, ma'am. That happens sometimes."

"Does it?"

"Yes, it's the unfortunate part of being an egg.” 

― Peter Hedges, What's Eating Gilbert Grape

 

Time to gather those eggs!

My inspiration for my eggs came from my love of color and a REALLY Snow white & ICY Blue winter!  I also really get into dying eggs,more so than my kids I think, I boil 6-8 dozen for us just to dye for fun....no we can never eat all those but that's not the point. :)

So this year I have applied my painting technique to paper mache' eggs...NO WAY am I blowing out eggs...though this could be applied to real eggs.

                                                      Gesso covered first

Then paint and seal. And gotta' add a few verses and quotes on some!

Set out, Share and ENJOY!
