vintage mixed media
Another creation.....
started out doing a charcoal sketch..never worked with charcoal before...like it!
then I made a collage type background tearing strips of paper and gluing them to Bristol Board paper
then I tore out my sketch and glued it to the background
then I used my fingertips to add acrylic paints to the background and then I dry brushed INKA GOLD on the background and started dry brushing colors to the face
I also put a coat of gold shimmer Mod Podge over the background and hair...
this is final....

WOW..been a long time since I have been here or posted anything...
well..I have been busy working and making changes in my life......have stopped trying to learn more Suzi Blu techniques in my artwork and just decided to be creative again on my own...this is my latest. I was really inspired by a recent photograph of a child...and decided to create something with it. I sketched the face ....mod pdged it onto another heavier sheet of sketch pad paper....then tore the edges and glued it onto a science fair project board I had lying around. I first though, tore papers and mod podged those to create a background....and added gold tones and shimmer and antiquing....then added the face...and finished adding some colors and tones...I do like the results. I started out only with the middle of the 3-way board done..but decided to make an entire layout so also completed the sides...now it is a scene. I tried to make this look like a little boy...a shepherd..and kept thinking of looking through the eyes of a child and perhaps what Jesus may have thought as a child..so this is really now to portray Jesus as a child..filled with wonder...deep thought and contemplation..pure innocence...etc. Here is is. I still have to add a top coat of clear Mod Podge to help protect it. I also then did a smaller head of the Virgin Mary...not sure it was what I was going for..but it is what it is for now:
another Silent Night that is also beautiful...
this reminds me at the very end...of the spirits and souls of all those children killed in Connecticut..being swept up into Heaven...such a beatiful song
