Last night, after a pretty rough day with chemo fatigue, I suddenly had the urge to do some more to my hot air balloon mixed media piece…..and in the end was well chuffed as I finished it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

I wanted to add some textured baskets so book paper came to mind, with some floated shadows to give them shape. \u00a0Finally I added some words to pull the piece together…..<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

This was a challenging piece as the different mediums I used, reacted with each other and I never knew what was going to happen next! \u00a0Great fun, even though some layers, had to be re-done when they lifted…..it’s always a learning curve…what works and what doesn’t!!<\/p>\n

I’m excited now about starting a new piece….maybe pots with flowers as Summertime is approaching….so they say!!<\/p>\n

Have a great day everyone.<\/p>\n

Love Dawn x<\/p>\n

ps. \u00a0Just a reminder, I have e-pattern packs available in my Shop<\/a>\u00a0which you can download and paint at home…full step by step instructions with detailed techniques, products etc and I am only an email away if you need any help!<\/p>\n

Would love to see what you produce \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
