Next task
I've been asked to create some wedding invitations so I'm preparing a portfolio for approval.
I've already looked at lettering and initials and today I'm experimenting with hearts.
This will be the background and then I will add some lettering:it is a mixed media piece.
The heart is stitched newspaper ( what else!) which has been coloured with ink, gold acrylic paint and pearlescent tinting medium. After cutting out the shape I placed it on a double layer of white net and stitched round the outside to create a lacey effect. I then mounted this on a double layer of hand dyed blanket and added the outside trimming.
I'm not sure what colour scheme will be so I'm just winging it at the moment. However, I have permission to do "arty" and "whacky" versions as well as more traditional ones.My fingers are itching!
