I wanted to take part in Tag Tuesday this week, but realised it was already Tuesday and I hadn't got a clue what I was going to do. So I grabbed a chicken stencil I had made a few weeks ago and 'played' for an hour!
I mainly used walnut ink spray with copper (Moonshadow Mist) and Golden fluid acrylic, with sponges, stencil brushes and splatter techniques.
I rather like the effect of this chicken with the old paint covered stencil - shame the stencil had to come off!
I can't say it was a resounding success, but some turned out fairly reasonable - my nephews will each get a tag on their Easter Eggs and at ages 6 and 9 they are not too artistically critical of my work!!!
I am linking this to WOYWW - take a wander over there and have a peek at other peoples work desks - the link is on the right.
I think they are lovely..... I love the feathers especially! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteLovely, and I agree, the feathers are a lovely touch.

I hope you haven't spent up at Papermash Diane, it is hard to resist and they are such lovely people. I heard about them from a young artist friend of mine.
ReplyDeleteYour desk is nice and neat and the tag feathers are great.
Happy Easter again to you all.

ReplyDeleteThose are fab tags - I love the random splattedness of the paint and the feathers are the perfect finishing touch!!

Love your tags. Sorry I'm late too ... I'm a new WOYWW-er so trying to get around lots of blogs. Thanks for sharing and hope you're having a great Easter x
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to play with stencils this week - yours always inspire me. Love the chickens - they make me think of my Grandma, which gives me the warm fuzzies. So clever to attach the feathers...
