Fun with online classes

With lockdown going on, summer vacation for kids, no help it was crazy.

Luckily my favorite mixed media artist Gwen Lafleur started her online classes. Daily chores and keep my kid occupied took most of my time but I started making time to finish the projects at my
own pace.

This class was called the "Mix and Morph" and was the first in the series.

My creation was Indian peacock which was morphed. I had to think out of box since I didnt have many of materials that were required (like I used distress inks from the distress minis instead of water colors), but the entire process turned out so much fun.

Background was done with layers and layers of Lindy and Distress oxide sprays. Acrylic paints were used on top of them.
Focal image was hand drawn and painted with acrylic paints and Posca markers. They were also embossed with emeraldcreek embossing powder. Morphed elements were stenciled or hand drawn, cut and painted with distress inks and Inktense pencils./

I wanted the background to be important part of the piece, so I decided to create resist pattern.I used Stencilgirl Gwen Lafleur's stencil with versamark watermark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I ensured that I placed the stencil so the different colors were present in the resist pattern. I then covered the rest of background with shades of brown Distress Oxide (oxide being opaque covered the bright colors). I used Distress inks on top of oxide to get more vibrant shade. The corners were stamped and heat embossed with gold. The focal image consists of filigree chipboard which was embossed with chunky and fine embossing powders in different shades of gold. The medallion in the middle is two circular cardstock pieces placed one on top of the other. Outer circle was decorated with seed beads and bugle while inner circle has rhineston...
