Hi Friends

Sharing a mixed media canvas with all of you using Craft Cement from Little Birdie and color supplies from DecoArt Media. 

I started with coating the canvas with thick coats of  Little Birdie Mixed Media Paste in white and Slate , they prime the surface and also give great texture.......

I then used Cheese Cloth  , Craft Cement and some face molds to create my composition.........

Added water to the craft cement and dipped the cheese cloth in cement mixture. shaped the cheese cloth and clay molded faces to create a flowing composition......

leave it overnight or for 24 hours to dry completely, then use a matte black spray paint or Black Gesso to cover all......

let dry and colored with DecoArt Media Fluid acrylics in Interference Violet , Interference Blue and Interference magenta .Media Interference Fluid Acrylics include six translucent colors that shift in color and appearance depending upon the light, viewing angle and color of the surface on which they are applied.

When applied over a dark color you will see more opalescent color and less of the color shift. When applied over a light color you will see a sheer opalescent color but more of the color shift. Thin applications in a wash or glaze increase the visual interference effects......

I have highlighted all the textures with DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Burnished Brass which is a water based metallic wax that buffs to a brilliant shine......

After all the layers were completely dry I coated the canvas with DecoArt Clear Pouring Topcoat. although this was used a a topcoat for paint pouring projects but I love the lacquer-like, high-gloss finish it provides. The Pouring topcoat is crystal clear and self-leveling and does not yellow over time ..............
