ART PLAYGROUND - JUNE PLAY
Hello all and happy june!!
i'm so excited to share with you my inspiration on the second and fantastic june challenge on ART PLAYGROUND BLOG.
Just look at the color schema - perfect!!
The bright naive colors and the shabby chic style is what drew me to the world of scrapbooking and mixed media in the first place.
I decided to search for a sentence that will be able to remind me all the time of what really matters.
so I came up with the idea of a frame with an Inspiration sentence that would be in front of me all the time when I'm working.
The inspiration sentence is the focal point of the work and I decided to emphasize it by the other elements in it.
The frame is colored first with gesso, crackle glaze, acrylic art alchemy (light patina) and then gesso again to make a wash kind of look...
I framed the sentence with a white embossed chipboard, adding scraps paper, cuttings of leaves and flowers, molds and lace.
All the papers that i used here are by PRIMA "Love Story" (love love love it!!) .
I placed the sentence and all the elements on the left side of the frame (not in the center!), and I added a secondary focal point with resembling colors on the top right of the frame to keep the interest.
The shabby style is characterized by lots of details so I could not leave this side empty.
By arranging such a composition, I created a pleasant movement to the eye that moves first from the focal point of the work to the secondary focal point and back again to the first one.
Here are so more pictures:
Hope you'll enjoy it and it will inspire you to come and play with us in this june play
