This is a 12''x 8'' mixed media canvas using a gorgeous image from SMEARED INK.
I used an image transfer technique that i hadn't tried before on such a large scale .... i'm pleased with the result.... although i should have remembered to flip the image before i printed it out...DUH!
The imaged is framed with alsorts of bits and bobs, loads of paint,pastes and various stuff was used in the making of this piece but the main thing was time.... 3days including drying time.... why can't stuff dry instantly?
Below are some photos of my box , made for the current challenge at SMUDGY ANTICS, blogger has been playing me up rotten recently and i havent managed to blog anything for about 10days..... you still have a couple of days to enter the challenge whic is a simple one.....
