Making Music too

Hello Happy Crafters

I hope you are all well and staying safe.

Today I am sharing a project I created for the second time as I was inspired by

the #MIXEDMEDIAPLACE April 2020 Moodboard challenge. I love the colours

and inspiration.

  

You can find the template on my previous post: Making Music @ home             

These are some of the products I used: 

For this project I used cardstock and the glue gun to stick it together.

I did not want the violin too thick so I cut strips of cardstock measuring

1cm for the side panels.

For the background I painted the violin with green acrylic paint and once

completely dry, I used the crackling method with glue mix – which you can

find here on my blog: Cracking Tutorial

I used white Gesso as the top coat.

Once this was dry, I added some stenciling with #Pebeo modelling paste and

#prima stencil. Once dry (using heat gun 😊 I added #Lindy’s starburst spray –

A bit o bubbly and embossing with #signaturecollection embossing powder from

#crafterscompanion.  

I placed my embellishments where I wanted them so I am happy with the layout.

The flowers are handmade – I used foamarin to make the different styles.

I made some clay embellishments with silicone molds and coloured these with

#13@rts #colorglow. I added some embossing to a few of the clay molds.

Here I added some more #13artscolorglow to the background for more colour.

I added #nuvo #vintagedrops  - pioneer green for more texture and some black

splatter with #pebeo black Gesso.

Finally I inked the edge of the violin with tuxedo black #memento ink and

Lightly touched over some of the embellishments. I also added some dark

Shadow around some of the clay embellishments with watered down black gesso.

Here are a few close-ups:
