Mixed Media Boards

Over the next few posts I shall be sharing the wonderful finished boards

that the members of our Craft Club had great fun with.

Everyone started with a 12" square mdf board, I had sealed one side

 ready for everyone to decide on how they would decorate them,

several ideas were given beforehand including a fabulous

inspirational video by Einett Kessler, which you can find here 

 

Some of us concentrating!

 

 

We all brought along our boxes of treasures to glue to the board, (well some people would

call it junk)  most of us worked completely out of our comfort zone,

but we threw ourselves into it and couldn't wait to see how

they would all take shape. 

Paint, gesso, stencils, inks and extra embellishments were also available.

 

Here we will start with Tanya's masterpiece,

an absolutely awesome Mixed Media art piece.

Using photographs printed onto canvas of her son Theo, she surrounded

these with personal items relating to Theo.

Tanya was the only one of us who decided to use black gesso which has been 

used to great effect, finishing with shimmering ink sprays and alcohol inks.
