....gave her WINGS!

Hi Peeps! 

I am honored to bring this post to you!

My friend, Candy Rosenberg, posted she was releasing

{a vintage girl}

 FABULOUS products at Creativation 2019.

I was SOO HAPPY for her!

Then she messaged ME asking

if I could create something using her products.

my answer....OF COURSE I could!!

I knew EXACTLY what I was going to do....

You see while wandering through Walmart one day,

with my bestie, Peggalish, I came across

a pair of wooden wings on a stand.

I HAD TO HAVE IT.

I picked it up and noticed it was all whobbly and it even fell apart.

.....but I HAD TO HAVE IT!

SO, I think I paid a whole $1.75

and brought it home.

As a result, I pulled the wooden wings out

removed the Christmas decoration from the front

and proceeded to pull out a few of my FAVORITE PRODUCTS!

So, I let the mono printing begin!!

FYI....I used a piece of Tissuestock as my paint palette
which I would in turn use as part of the wings.

Just after I had finished mono printing with the various paints,

I stamped with White Gesso all over the sheets
adding texture and continuity to the papers.

I even stamped on a piece of thin fabric.

LOVE IT!!

After everything was dry,

I diecut the wings making sure to cut pieces for the left and right sides.

(papers facing up and then papers facing down)

I painted Multi Medium ~ Matte to the backsides of the fabric leaves.

When dry, I proceeded to man handles all of the wing pieces.

But they weren't standing apart enough,

consequently, I pulled out my Distress Oxide ~ Vintage Photo.

I then rubbed it onto my craft mat. Just after, I spritzed it with a bit of water

and applied it to the edges of the wings with my finger.

Just after they were all distressed and dry, I let the wing building begin!

I almost forgot, I also "aged" the wooden wings.

I just LOVED how it was coming together. 

Now, for the piece de la resistance

{a vintage girl}

Wicked Wings ~ Small

I dabbed on various colors to give the wings an aged metal look!

I then pulled out a bowl of bits and baubles....

and found the PERFECT addition

to the Wicked Wings ~ Small

a vintage earring and a gear from the

{a vintage girl} 

Steampunk Gear Set.

I finished off the stand by "aging" the wood 

using Archival Inks.

My finished project....

and "gave her Wings"!

PS....see the bricks on the stand base??

my last finishing touch......
