Tiffany's challenge for MIX39 is to "watercolour it". While I've used watercolour for my bird I've made this a real mixed media hotchpotch.
I stamped the bird, masked it off and used chalks with the chicken wire stencil, then sprayed with fixative. Replaced the mask and sponged in the bamboo with ink and lustre rub-ons, and also used a dark rub-on with some drywall mesh along the bottom. The whole thing is lightly spritzed with a Perfect Pearls mist.
Removed the mask, reverse masked the bird, wet him lightly and coloured him with various Winsor & Newton watercolours.
Inka sentiment stamped as chalkboard with a nod to today's F4A challenge . I stitched the edges with no thread in the machine, and sponged with green and black
I had great fun with this.
