Yes, we promised you another make from our other 'Top 3 merit' badge winner, Alison (aka Craftytrog) and here it is...
"Here’s how my piece ‘Grow Some Love’ was made…
I took a piece of packaging, about 5 x 4 “, and glued on some pieces of torn music sheet. I then gave it a base coat of gesso. Next, I used Bombay Inks in blues & greens, to create a water colour background. I used my fingers to add some more gesso in places & around the edges, to tone down the colour.I stamped the heart flowers from the Paperbag Studios Little Feet plate three times, onto my base. I stamped the large heart, the baby’s face, & a Chocolate Baroque flower onto some music sheet, then cut them out & glued them in place. I used a water brush & some teal Bombay ink to add some colour around the baby’s face.I used alphabet stamps to create the words on some plain music paper, cut them out, edged them with black ink, then glued them in place.I finished off my artwork, by punching two holes, adding some eyelets, & a piece of lace to hang it with."
Another wonderful make to get you thinking and making, thank you Alison!
