Welcome to another challenge at The Male Room, this time we are looking for anything masculine inspired by a Song Title.
I painted the canvas purple first, then added the texture using a quick drying flexible filler and a Memory Box stencil. The whole canvas was then spritzed with a Cosmic Shimmer mister Purple Violet and sprinkled with rock salt, then left to dry naturally.
Once dry I tapped all the salt off the canvas which left me with a speckled effect that unfortunately doesn't show very well in the photo, taking photos of sparkly things can be very tricky sometimes.
I have stamped in silver using a swirl stamp on the top right corner, I've also taken this stamping over the edge on to the sides of the canvas. I have stamped a music note using Archival Ink black, it didn't come out as dark as I wanted so I have gone over it with a Stardust Black gel pen.
It really is very purple (Chris, you'd love it!) but it comes out a little more blue in the pictures and it's quite sparkly too. I need to collect a few more musical embellishments for the bigger one I think, as well as play around with different papers to print on. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them, after all carfting is sharing and we're always learning.
Please come and join us at The Male Room with your Song Title inspiration, anything you like as long as it's masculine.

ReplyDeleteGREAT mixed media canvas! What a great tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Love the color, textures, layers. Thanks for explaining how you achieved it. I wanted to share the [url= http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2418189?&cat=500&ppuser=214947] Purple Rain [/url] card I made a while ago. It's simplistic compared to your canvas but it celebrates another great artist, Prince, and the color purple as well. :)
