Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Finnabair's blog with a mixed-media canvas inspired by the monthly theme: Let's Get Spooky!

As the base for the background, I decided to use the Solar tissue paper. I used the Soft Gloss Gel to glue on the canvas. Then, I added a very thin layer of Heavy White Gesso as I wanted to see the pattern afterwards. I added a design with the Rocket Science stencil and 3D Gloss Gel.

When everything was completely dry, I painted the background with Liquid Acrylic paints in Nude, Burnt Sienna, and Ink Black to match the colors of the photo.

I primed the bat wings with Heavy Black Gesso and the other resin elements with Heavy White Gesso.   

I painted the skull and the bones with the same Liquid Acrylic I used for the background. To alter the chains, I used the Rust Effect Paste set and some Old Silver wax.

I added some Vintage Silk wax to highlight the details of the bat's wings and the horns of the mountain sheep.

Time is a surprising thing. Sometimes it's like the blink of an eye, sometimes it stretches like a rubber band into infinity. Time is a funny thing because sometimes you just need to give yourself time to figure things out. To understand what was missing. It gets easier with time. Time heals wounds. Time. Give yourself time. Take your time.
