So I found Shawn Petite http://www.shawnpetite.com/ a few weeks ago and have been "stalking" all her tutorials. Wonderful stuff and I fell in love w/ a couple of her clock face art pieces, so I gave it a shot. These are on 6x6 MDF thin board.
I kinda love them. They are a lot "plainer" than the ones Shawn did, but still I'm pretty proud!
On the "inspire" piece I used joint compound mixed with gray paint, and spread it thru the stencil to get the diamond shapes along the sides.
On the "enjoy the journey" piece I had started out w/ ink sprays and hated them, so I tried to seal them up and layer over them .... but layer after layer they bled thru. You can see a bit of the purple on and around the edges of the clock face. But typical of mixed media .... no mistake looks like a mistake .... it looks like I planned the purple! LOL I love the mix of letter stamps too ....
Which brings me to my next topic. ALPHABET STAMPS ... holy colossal mess. I don't know how to 'store' them. I have managed to mix up all the fonts .... so I am not sure if I want to just get a box w/ as many cubbies as I can find and then just organize by letters (A-B-C in one cubbie, D-E-F in another ... etc etc) Of if I try to keep the fonts separate. argggh.
