Hello! Today is the monthly member blog hop for Smeared and Smudged. The theme this month was Anything Goes.
I decided to alter a box I’ve had for a few years. Here’s what the drawers looked like before I started painting…
I applied gesso, painted it, put on some crackle medium, then painted it again. I added a couple of embellishments to the sides.
My image is from Smeared Ink…it’s actually from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club. After I colored and cut out the image I lit a candle and attempted to scorch the feathers a bit.
I’d also like to enter this into the current Smudgy Antics challenge, which is Burnt Offerings.(I burnt the edges of my image)
Thanks for looking!
Here’s the entire hop list…
Madeleine – You are here
Happy Hopping!
