Hello everyone!
Today I would like
to present you one more project with which I’m entering the Annual Prima DTCall. #PrimaDTCall
This time I drew
my inspiration from some very popular female portraits.
As you all know,
they were created by the famous and very talented artist Piero Fornasetti
(1913-1988). He found the face of operatic
soprano Lina Cavalieri,
in a 19th-century magazine, and created over 500 variations of her face!
By looking at them, I realized
that combining some of the portraits together, one can create a whole story.
That is how I
created this mixed media layout.
As for the
process, I began by stamping and heat embossing with Finnabair Old Town stamps.
I also used some pieces of chipboard which I also embossed with copper powder.
I applied white
crackle paste through a stencil with floral design in order to create the tree’s
foliage. I placed the chipboard pieces on the wet paste, in the middle of my
composition, to create the tree’s trunk and a base for my photos to sit on.
I did some more
background stamping with archival ink and painted the whole layout by creating
layers with Distress Oxides, Paper Artsy Infusions and Prima Metallic Accents.
Believe me they
work together so great! Some attention is needed between layers though, because
both Distress Oxides and Infusions are reactivated with water.
I used some
acrylic paint to define the shape of the tree. Finally, I refined my shadowing
with Faber Castell Pitt Artist Big Brush pens.
I embellished the
photos with lots of Prima Flowers from different collections and Prima Paper
Butterflies.
The quote is a
piece of wisdom from the famous Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.
I wrote it with a purple glitter gel pen.
I hope you like
it!
Thank you for visiting my blog!
Until next time
Be Brave, Be who You want to Be!
