I used products made by a few of my favorite artists: Lynne Moncrieff, Seth Apter and Kristin Peterson. A tiny splash of Finnabair's Glass Glitter, paints by Jane Davenport and additional inks by Tim Holtz. It doesn't get any more fun than playing with all of this from my stash. Oh, I brought out my embroidery threads and needles, back in the 1970's I used to do all sorts of needlework. It's like riding a bike you never forget how to do it even after a few decades. I need to do more of that!
Thanks for stopping by ~ hugs ~ Renee
i absolutely love this Renee! Kristin's images are so awesome ! I also did a lot of needle work LONG ago...yikes..i really have forgot a lot of stitches! I am working on refreshing my memory tho! lolol
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you! I haven't picked up my embroidery needles in years, just start with the very simple stitches, it comes back pretty quick. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThese are such fun, Renee! Did you draw these faces or are they stamps? Love them and your painting of them. The embroidery is an awesome touch of detail, love that!
ReplyDeleteHi Annie! The faces are stamps by Kristin Peterson, I wish she'd make more they're so awesome.
DeleteWhile not nearly as talented as you, my daughter and I created some mixed media art on canvas a few weeks ago. So much fun.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!
DeleteLoving those faces Renee. So much personality!
ReplyDeleteHi Seth, your stencils are in the background just peeking through here and there. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOmgosh! These are fabulous Renee!
ReplyDeleteEach face, better than the next and your characters,are almost Picasso~like! The embroidery is just the best accent, and I used to do so much of it as well- time for me to pull out my materials also! Funny how things come back around-right?
You have to know,that I totally LOVE your art and hope we someday will spend time creating together!
sending you hugs,Jackie xx
You know what they say "there's nothing new under the sun"! Everything comes back around...eventually. Hugs to you!
