A Hot Glue Gun Experiment.......

Today, seeing as though it is pouring down with rain, I have spent most of my time playing in my craftroom even though household jobs are piling up........
I decided to play with my hot glue gun, making shapes on my craft sheet primarily to use with my gelli plate, I tried some hearts and I liked this one I made so much that I decided to incorporate it onto a canvas, I would love to know what you think?
The glue was clear so once it had dried on my craft sheet I painted it with several coats of London Bus Paperartsy Fresco Paint, when that was dry I roughly painted on some Rock Candy crackle paint to see what would happen and it sort of worked after I had added distress stain??
I covered a heart that I think came stuck to something with dictionary paper and painted it, finished off with a Tim Holtz remnant rub.
All this then had to sit on something so I set about an 8 x 8 canvas using Paperartsy fresco finish paints in Beach hut,south Pacific, bora bora and London bus using mainly an old credit card to apply.

For added texture I added painted and  handstiched dictionary and designer paper.
Some stenciling with Dylusions stencils.
I stamped the equations from Red Rubber company onto tissue and applied,
the sides of the canvas had the same treatment
Final touches were loads of numerical remnant rubs and flicks of picket fence distress paint.
The sentiment was computer generated.
I'd love to know what you think about my experiment.
thanks for stopping by

  2. Gulp! Amazing... the glue gun heart with that crackle is so unbelievably cool to start with, and then the wild and wonderful layers in the background. Stunning colours, and bold black - a brilliant, brilliant canvas.
