I suck at mixed media backgrounds.
I just can’t seem to get the hang of it…..I put one layer
down and suddenly I ‘see’ something and I want to continue to bring out the
character/face/critter I see! If I do get more layers down it either turns to ‘mud’
or I see MORE things trying to catch my attention.
Well….anyway…….here ya’ go Carol!
I will put them in the post as soon
as they are dry enough not to stick together in the envelope!
I think you got the hang of it quite well. Colors and images are balanced. I love the movement in the bubble piece (second one down. bubbles. that's what I see). The third one with the squares reminds me of 1950s wallpaper. My favorite is the first one. I see a chubby, black kitty. Go make more mixed media art!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with my backgrounds too. The trick is to keep on layering and maybe it will work out......or go in the bin.Lol!
ReplyDeleteThey look good to me. I can't wait to see what you do with mine. Will let you know when they are on the way.
Well, they look pretty good to me! I think Carol will be pleased ... :-) I also have a hard time making backgrounds in my journals. I keep layering on top and in the end there's just too many layers and I gesso over it again. Although that sometimes gives great results as well ....
