this is the mixed media collage on a 6"x18" wood board that i made in daniela's class, i gave it to my mother for her birthday. the lady behind the window is from a postcard mom brought back from her trip to hawaii, hence the overall islandy colors and imagery.i used acrylic paints in green, orange and a hand-blended eggplant for the background, along with a variety of papers and ribbons. i painted the chipboard window frame with 3 colors to make it look aged, then i coated everything with the beeswax.
i added flowers, some glitter and other embellies (square buttons are carved bone), then accented it with raised geometric designs using 3-d craft paint.
beeswax is kinda messy to work with, but i like the texture it adds!
