“Hello everyone! Asia King<\/a> here. Thank you for stopping by today to see the\u00a0second installment of my Mixed Media Dragonflies<\/em> CHA ensemble. In my first post I shared a\u00a0Mixed Media Dragonflies Canvas With Adhesive Sheets<\/a> and today you will\u00a0see the remaining items – an altered wooden plaque and an altered mobile phone cover.<\/p>\n

The Dragonfly Ensemble<\/h2>\n

The Wood Dragonfly Plaque<\/h3>\n

The plaque was first decorated with Adhesive Sheets\u00a0 6×12″<\/a> and printed napkins using a dry decoupage technique<\/a>\u00a0and then painted with acrylic paints.\u00a0I also randomly added some texture paste through a stencil.<\/p>\n

\"Mixed<\/p>\n

Next I built layers and layers of embellishments, buttons, flowers and trinkets adhered together with Adhesive Dots Small<\/a> and\u00a0Adhesive Dots 3D<\/a>. To fill my layers and to embellish further I also used\u00a0Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix White<\/a>, 3D Foam Squares White Mix<\/a>, 3D Foam Pennants<\/a>, 3D Foam Wings<\/a> and 3D Foam Butterflies<\/a>. My adhesives served a double purpose, ornamental and as a sticky base for additional elements. Below you can see the layers\u00a0in their ‘raw’ state.<\/p>\n

As you can see I’ve used a variety of found objects, including broken jewellery pieces, an old burnt light bulb and a spring.<\/p>\n

\"Mixed<\/p>\n

Using your 3D Foam Designer Shapes<\/a> is perfect for this type of a mixed media project. The shapes add a lot of interest and they allow you to fix additional elements in place at the same time. At this stage you don’t even have to worry about matching colours because the next step is to cover everything generously\u00a0with white\u00a0gesso. Once the gesso has\u00a0dried you can colour your piece as desired with ink sprays and paints.<\/p>\n

And here is a close up of the detail once the colouring stage is finished, quite a difference isn’t it? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I wanted to use the wall plaque as a shelf for the altered mobile phone cover so I added some swirls to the shelf to hold the phone cover in place.<\/p>\n
