Some of you may remember I have been to Lin and Leandra's latest ArtsyCrafty weekend where I did three fabulous projects. These were using the new Fresco Paints by Paperartsy and I must admit, before I went I just thought they were "another acrylic" but honestly, they are different. They are absolutely fabulous come in groups of three for each colour (light, medium and dark) - and at £3.95 a bottle well worth the money. Incidently, there is also a Crackle which is the best one I have ever seen. Seriously, you need to get the Crackle if nothing else!
Unfortunately due to my breathing problem I could not do the third project. The Plaster dust just irritated my lungs and Leandra did the first bit, casting my elements, and Lin did the second which was my board background.
I decided to be good and move around the colours on offer so, as I had already done blue (first project), and lilac (second project), I went on the green table. Think I got Freema's affliction (Artsycraft joke - she can sit on any colour of table and her work always turns out blue) - because mine turned out blue. To be fair it was supposed to have some blue touches on it but there is not one bit. So here it is - the third and final project which I enjoyed so much and would have loved to have done the plastering bit as it is my kind of thing.
It all started out with my mixing a colour for the cameo which was to be some kind of creamy type skin tone. "Perfect" declared Lin and so this colour went all over only to find it dried with lilac undertones. That is why green was not used. So at the end when all the blue shades had been used there was some lilac added as you can see here (although on my screen it looks quite pink - rest assured it is not - it's lilac).
Can you also see the touches of Gold Gloop?
This is the beautiful cameo
And here is the button and border
I am not going to bore you with everything I did, let you look at this project before moving on to the next so until tomorrow .... (wonder if Chas fancies doing some plaster mixing?)
