Hiya!Yesterday I shared my second guest project for Paper Garden and here's my third guest project for them. This one is most of my style from the guest projects for Paper Garden I’ve shared so far. I enjoy making ATCs as they are my playground and do an art doll every now and then, but I feel most at home with canvases and assemblages. I just love dimensional projects!
I also adore all things vintage – old paper, stained spoons and dented buttons. There’s something wonderful in all of those, the stories they carry. My true passion is old scissors and I absolutely hoard them! But for this little thing I chose a pastry fork to be used. And that made me think about cakes and thus the only thing I could write to the project was a thing Marie Antoinette is told to have said – let them eat cake!
I started the project with flat layers as I collaged papers to the background and then went for the height with different dimensional layers. I added some Modeling Paste and lace and then started to make the main composition using heavy body gel medium as my adhesive. I also used white gesso two ways in this project. I added this primer to the background to soften any harsh contrast in the papers and also on top of the composition to add a shabby touch. And do you know what the actual frame is? It’s the box everything arrived!
Like in previous times, I recorded a video while working on the project. This time I only speed the video up but showed the whole process, so you can see everything.
I hope you liked the video! Wishing you a delicious day! Thank you for stopping by today! If you want to see the previous Paper Garden projects, here's the link to them - a tiny art doll (link) and a set of postal ATCs (link). And here's a link to YouTube (link) to a video which shows what was inside the box I received in the first place.
Ta ta for now!
