Listen to the Music of the waves with Michelle
'Listen to the music of the waves' - bearing in mind it is now Autumn in our part of the world - one can only imagine and dream about lying on the beach in warmer climes, listening to the music of the waves. I have put together an MDF layered violin and I have to say I am totally in love with the new quick dry adhesive. This project has been so easy to put together with this adhesive and a little tacky glue. I used a mix of three blue paints and a crackle to colour my violin and let dry overnight to let the colours do their magic.
Then I have to be honest and say I attacked my violin in places with my sanding block - wiped away all the dust and then in areas I randomly applied my alcohol ink stayz in place inkpad - chocolate sprinkles together with my platinum brown pigment ink pearlescent ink pad. I traced around the base of the violin to get the shape using Seaside Girl 12x12 paper 02 and the inside is covered in Seaside Girl 12x12 paper 05 - I've inked the edges before adhering to the violin itself.
I made a set of dummy strings and adhered to the violin and then I started to embellish.
On my table I pulled together a selection of ephemera die cut pieces, an array of sea shells, I strung some pearls, added art stones, I die cut an anchor [twice] and adhered together to make it a little sturdier to tuck in amongst some shells and ephemera pieces. I also made a piece of netting using some twine. I delved into my stash to find anything else that could be used in a sea related setting.
After all my bitsers were adhered to my violin and I was happy with the way everything looked, I randomly dabbed some more quick dry adhesive over my project and and added art stones and sequins. And then, I just had to add just a little more gesso.
