"GRUNGE,GRUNGE,GRUNGE" at That's Crafty Challenges

Hi Everyone

Today see's the start of another fortnightly challenge at That's Crafty Challenges and our theme is

"GRUNGE"

So time to get all down and dirty and grunge up your makes.

I searched for the definition of Grunge and among other things it said "Grubby and dirty"

For my Grunge inspiration piece I have made a 5" square box canvas and called it:-

 "Fallen Angel".

I first applied modelling paste through Tim's Bricked stencil, blending out the paste where I knew my image was going. Once dry I then applied suitable colours of paint. I used paperartsy Fresco chalk paints in, base layer Concrete and then in this order Tikka and Chutney. Finally and using a large dry brush Little Black Dress. I then watered down slightly some Decoart Traditions transparent Red Iron Oxide. Then splashed with white Indian Ink. 

I then stamped my image "Christmas Angel" by Ocopode onto gesso covered book page and then coloured lightly with gelatos. I have added a little bit of torn sequined netting to her dress and rust embossed her halo (unfortunately photo doesn't really show these well) and then adhered to my canvas using ranger glue & seal.

Finally my sentiment "Fallen Angel" was typed out on my vintage typewriter and again applied with glue & seal.

so if you fancy getting all "Down & Dirty" pop over over HERE and join in with us all.
