Dream, Encaustic Collage

I really enjoyed doing this Encaustic Collage.  The vintage image of the little girl is sweet, she has such a dreamy look on her face.  I can totally relate as I spent many hours daydreaming as a child.
It is a 10" x 10" cradled panel.  I finished the edges with the black lace.  I am really enjoying the use of buttons and how they work with the wax -they don't have that glued on look like they do with acrylic. The word Dream is done with a Rub On which works so cool and is so much easier than doing a transfer.

Strata -Mixed Media Painting by Patt Scrivener

This is the new collage -many layers of built up mediums, fluid acrylics and paper. I have made most of the papers myself even adding coffee grounds to one of them to emulate rock.

Life is Not a Spectator Sport, Mixed Media and Collage

This is a 12' Square gallery wrapped canvas.  I started it by gluing down images from magazines with nothing in mind.  I then started painting over the magazine collage and this runner appeared with a spectator in the background. Thought I would just run with it!!  Hence the title.

Birdie Sing To My Love

Today I got off my abstract tangent to something a bit more whimsical. I have been disciplining myself to use up some things I have started. This was a beautiful background on illustration board. It had the leaf shape on it and just seemed to be beckoning a bird. I stamped into it and added some collage elements to finish the piece.

One Lonely Tulip

This painting is built up with many layers of paint and collaged papers. I totally changed my colour pallet today to something more muted and dreamy.

Red Hot and Crazy

I built this collage up in layers. It has a selection of handmade papers including Japanese text and my favourite spiral stamp. I love my new tool for doing fine paint lines!! So much fun!!
