a land far, far away... lived flowers with eyes... by Lesley

Hey people. well......August is upon us, i hope you're enjoying good weather?
The summer holidays are in full swing for me.....crazy, busy and fun for me and the kids! I find myself creating about 11 at night........only time the house is quiet!
This week, i have altered a printers tray.

The usual start off for me is panting the entire thing with gesso. I then added layers of paint, crackle glaze, more paint and silver wax to the edges. At this point i was going with a sea theme.....hence the colours! But twin number 2 insisted i used these flowers.

I snipped off a few flowers and then used waxes to give them colour.
A layer of hessian was added to the base.....forgot how much i like hessian!

I twisted silver wire to act as stems for the flowers i snipped off, so i could have them popping out of the frame.

Little eyes were then glued to the centre of each flower.

To finish, i added one of the word elements, using wire to attach it.

Not quite the sea theme i was going for.......more certainly Lesley styley! :)

Thanks for reading.
L.xx
