Yesterday I showed you the first page of my latest project – the first one I could call finished (ish).
This is the latest page, I began playing with over the weekend.
Starting out with gesso and inks, layered up and finished with hot glue blobs
Inspired by the very lovely and talented Contadina K
Love!!!
love em! Fabulous color, texture and depth.
Aw thanks Elaine

I think the colors are so beautiful. They are like little jewels, all together on the page. At first, I thought the lines could even be sewn into the piece, then realized they weren’t. Wonderful!! And I love all the different textures that you built up with the gesso. (I’m guessing that’s how you did it … although perhaps I’m wrong.) So far, this is a wonderfully lovely project!
Yep – that’s exactly it…. playing at mark making in wet gesso. It really is a lovely medium! + the magic of hot glue! Certainly something I’ll be playing more with! (Those little doodley lines – they are fine wispiy strands of glue too) Best fun times!!
beautiful!
More enchanting each time – you’re on a roll Eph…
Oh EG! This is amazing….
Thankies! It was SO much fun too!!
Scrummy
gorgeous texture…what is that brown thin line created with?
The fine doodley lines are from the hot glue – it makes very fine threads when you lift the glue gun up from the surface (a bit like spun sugar), then ink dripped on top.
Incredible!! It looks like you stitched painted fabric!!! Can’t wait to see what you show us next!
Thanks so Rachel ! Next one coming soon
This is gorgeous! I love it.the colors are perfect. Thanks for sharing.
