Stamping Mad

Mixed Media Painting - Bird in the Hand

by Katelyn on August 26th, 2007

A bird in the hand mixed media collageSo, I finally decided (after 4 years) to get back to actually painting my mixed media pieces. I’ve lost all my skills, so it isn’t perfect. However, the worst thing was that I couldn’t get the poor girl’s eye to look decent. I looked at some other artists’ sites and noticed a lot of girls with their eyes shut. I tried it, but it looked to much like I just gave up on the eye detail. Well, I did, but I obviously didn’t want it to seem that way! I was staring into space at 12:30 at night when I suddenly realized that eyes are like flowers. So…be prepared to see a lot of flowers for eyes from now on. I stuck one on the bird’s perfectly good eye, too.

The stamp I used was a large flower home decor stamp. The texture in the lower left corner is a lace paper stencil. The bird (and the girl’s thumb) is music paper painted with blue acrylic and the nest is just a bit of a dictionary page.
