...hello everyone, today i'm sharing with you a wall hanging that I've made using mainly DecoArt products, I hope you like...
...the base is a flat canvas which was given a good coating of Traditions Acrylic, once dry more colour was randomly added...
...once all the paint was dry I used a heart stencil and DecoArts texture stucco to create some wings...
...the wings were painted and given a slight crackle and just before dry a light sprinkle of glamour dust (I love this stuff!!)...
...I defined the edges of the wings with metalic lustre...
...the body and antenne was made with rusty wire...
...the wing nuts & fixings were given the Andy Skinner Time Worn touch...
...below are the DecoArt products used to create this piece...
...thank you for dropping by today...

Sorry I have not been by like I used to...I have never got back into a routine after my surgery...DH had a heart attack last year and retired...I think he is still searching for his own routines as he seems to plan a lot of projects that involve lots of my time...lol...
I do love to garden but DH does a lot of the work now...I deadhead, weed, prune and tie up plants...I did a few garden posts earlier in the year as DH did a big digging up and dividing project with one of our perennial beds...well he dug and I divided...hundreds of plants!
Oh wow! I hardly have words for this ... the texture is absolutely smashing, l love the colors and the wire as well as every other detail. A jewel ... I must get me some of these DecoArt products ... urgently :-D Suzanne x
ReplyDeleteWow, your wall hanging is just spectacular - I love what you've achieved, the texture on the wings is beautiful and the delicate crackle glaze looks like real little veins - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Your wall hanging is absolutely amazing! Its so creative with the wire and the texture! I hope you have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove From Rebecca xx
What a stunning creation, Mel... I'm blown away by this one. The background is great, and the wiry body of the butterfly is inspired. As for those extraordinarily beautiful wings... wow! And I love the fixings in the corners too... completely brilliant altogether!
