Romantic Redesigns

My recent redesigns all have a romantic feel.  Like this framed fleur-de-lis.



Three elements brought together to form a beautiful whole.  I painted these small metal frame, but wanted to add something other than an image.




So, I cut a piece of board to fit, attached a composition fleur-de-lis, and,



layered the whole thing with shades of grey and white.

I used the paint recipes from the Farragoz course, along with a few tricks of my own for added texture.



Here's another design for one of my metal hearts.




After painting, I lightly transferred an angel image, using the "Splendid Blender" pen.  You can review that technique HERE.




My heart is resting on a vintage metal rose I transformed with layers of my homemade paint, and, texture.








We've been in the double digits these past few days.  Which, feels downright balmy, compared to our recent deep freeze.

I think I'll see what else I can transform.
