Turtle basket

 

Hallo,

  I have a bunch of new baskets to show you over the next couple days and then low and behold 3 new paintings!!!!!

The base for this basket was made for me by my friend Kim who does great stuff. The basket is about 11.5 inches round and is about 1.5 inches tall. 

  I am experimenting with some curly cues for decorations along the top edges.

   All for today

     Take Care

Turtle territory

Hallo,
  IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!
  Another painting for you today - by the way all these recent paintings with the stencils and alcohol inks are 11 by 14 inches - and 13 by 16 inches when framed.
  I started this one as the others with a turtle stencil and some stencil paste and once dry I used alcohol inks to color the turtles and the background.
  And that is where I stopped (well almost ) with this one so no wax and no beads. I covered the entire painting with a thick coat of resin which really makes the colors pop - alcohol inks are bright as it is but the resin just adds to the effect!!!
   Really pretty - matter of fact it makes a great take top - I ordered one for myself off my Redbubble site and I just LOVE it!!!!
  The fabric they use is really nice and seems very well made and it really looks great!!!!
   All for me today - Have a great weekend!!!

Turtle ocean

Hallo,
  Another painting for you today with alcohol inks and wax. This one started with a turtle stencil and was done pretty much exactly like yesterdays. I colored the turtles and background with alcohol inks and then added a layer of shellac and did a burn.
  Once that was dry I added a couple layers of wax - with a row near the top taped off. Added the beads and the resin to the taped off areas and framed it in a black floating frame.
  It is also available on my Vangoart page - www.vangoart.com - user name = 'Tera Fujan'  as well as at HH Arts gallery in Fort Walton Beach!!!!
   Have a great day!!!
