Yes, I have the xmas creative bug! Here is a photo of my glass ornament wreath I have made for my front door...
I started it on an old grapevine wreath - no easy task I assure you! Then I used E6000 glue because I thought the hot glue gun might break the ornaments. After becoming almost asphyxiated with the fumes I took the risk and went for the glue gun. It worked so much better and was much quicker too!
I hope you can see the detail....
Then last night I worked on my new portrait and I'm mostly done - might do a little more on the background.
I used caran d' ache watercolor crayons and titanium white heavy bodied acrylic on the face and hair. Then Golden fluid acrylics and gesso with various stamps and a bit of glimmer mist for the background. I wrote my sentiment and word with a .05 copic multiliner. The lighting makes the words look faded but they're not.
Hope you enjoyed my process!
Music in the studio was my
favorite xmas album of all time - "Wintersong" by Sarah McLachlan.
Happy xmas creating!
Forever in art, Jessica
