While looking at the list of what I wanted to do and what I needed to do I had made some promises to Sandee at Frosted Designs that I was going to use her stamps I had no idea what I was going to do so I thought abut the Journal52 group,and I was looking for somrething to make my Journal out of and in a stack of College books on design, when I was in this awful class (another whole blog) I found a Journal of my drawings and some good ideas and some bad ideas. I started to flip through the pages and this project that was unfurnished and looked broken to me which is really my way of looking at Abstract This vase that I sketched was to be made into a Abstract art design and I did break it into pieces. All of a sudden I though this is what Mixed Media really is to some people and I new it had to be fixed.So Off to find the Deep Red Cling Stamps, and some pens and watercolor crayons, I have never used, I went to work and this is what I did with my Unfinished project. I named it Broken Promises, I am not sure why but it felt right.
I am going to share some pictures and instructions on what I did to achieve a finished piece, from 10yrs ago.
Step one of Broken Promises.
This top picture is the original drawing and my attempt at making some abstract (Broken) I do not like to break up things I have always been a realistist painter and this was a great challenge to me. It made me very sad to do this We uses watered down acrylics and painted inside the drawn lines.
Step 3 I went into the stamping room and found all my new stamps and a old one and I was then in heaven because I had made my commitment to a very dear friend., and my self by using something new I had just purchased from Frosted Designs, their link will be on Grannys Facebook Page and of the stamps below.
This is my finished Project I am very proud to no
longer have BROKEN PROMISES AND TEARS.
Sharon, this is an amazing piece and I thank you so much for taking us along on this journey that spanned 10 years!!! I LOVE the title of your piece and I love how you finished it. Mixed Media really is all about breaking down our barriers of needing everything to be perfect.....in line.....and realistic. This piece is a perfect example of how you grabbed this broken promise and made it into a completed and beautiful piece of art. Huggsss!!!!

DeleteI have to say that the face stamp fit right in with the abstract look of the page! I like how you named the piece too and what a way to save a piece from 10 years ago! :) waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandee, It was a shock as I told Tamako to find this today, and be able to save it as you told me there is no bad art. I now feel like a true artist, and yes the stamp of the face fit perfect. I love them stamps. You are a great friend.
