Light the Way - Mixed media canvas for Lindy's Gang DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Lindy's Gang blog with a new mixed media canvas call Light the Way, but I could have named it Mother Nature as well.  

I glued a piece of tissue paper to the lower half of the canvas with soft matte gel. After drying, I primed the whole canvas with clear gesso. I mixed Opal Sea Oats Magical with gold glitter and 3D gloss gel to obtain a Jewel paste. I used those paste to add a design to the upper half of the canvas. Finally, I add an uneven layer of clear crackle paste in the middle of the canvas.

I primed resin elements with black gesso and colored them with Bronze Age, Aged Brass, and White Gold waxes.

I glued all the elements of the composition with 3D Matte Gel. I started with the biggest elements like the branches, then the half frames, and the face. Next, I arranged the cogs and the flowers starting again with the biggest. 

When happy with the composition, I colored it Magicals mixed with Liquid Color Fluid Medium to make them permanent. I used Bayou Boogie Gold, Edelweiss Moss Green, Opal Sea Oats, (Sea Grass Green, and Hag's Wart Orange.

I added some natural moss which I colored with the Sea Grass Green Starburst spray. I embossed a few pebbles with the Chip Off the Old Black EP to add to the composition too. To finish it, I added glitter, sequins, and microbeads.

I've recorded the process of making this canvas. I hope you will enjoy it:
