"Pax"
There are layers of lace, texture paste, paperclay embellishments and white diecut card stuck down to make a scene with lots of texture before the whole thing is coated with a few coats of white gesso and left to dry.
"Background texture comes from lace, paste & diecuts"
I used cheap gesso which needed quite a few coats, but I won't make that mistake again and have bought myself some better quality stuff for future projects!
"Flowers are a mixture of paper and paperclay"
Some pearls are added to some of the flowers.
"Bird and nest"
Some straw with a few flat-backed pearls makes a pretty nest for this little wooden bird.
The last step is to spray the picture with inks of different colours to highlight areas and add some interest.
