Hello and Welcome to my post for
This month I moved away from my usual
floral type makes and went for
a pretty maple leaf and some cogs.
Something a little less time consuming
after last months piece.
It's a 4x4 canvas sealed with gesso.
and textured with stenciling
from Little Birdie
Adding colours with Lindy's Shakers in
Magnolia Magenta Gold
Grab a Guy Gold and
Cowabunga Copper
and more stenciling with some script using
Cadence Relief Paste .
Coloured up my chipboard cogs and attached to canvas.
Also attaching my maple leaf which is from a
very old Cuttlebug Die and cut multiple times
coloured using Jolly Roger Red Alpine Rose
and Glory of the Sea Gold Sprays
Metal cogs are heat embossed with
Wow Chocolate Caramel Pearl Powder.
Added lots of waxing in
Art Alchemy Fire Ruby Royal Robes
and Rich Copper
around the canvas edges and cogs.
Coloured a few cabachons to finish.
A few close ups -
That's it for this month.
Pop over and see what my Talented Team Mates created.
Hope to see you in our Gallery.
Once more I will join in the Challenge over at
Bleeding Art for their Anything Goes Here
It's gorgeous the way all these different elements work so well together, Ina! Gorgeous colour!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply fabulous. I love the colors, they are stunning. All that texture adds so much to the overall design. Really beautiful, so much to see I spent quite awhile looking at everything. GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous autumnal colours, and I love the layered cogs and gears building up dimension and the leaf which has fluttered down and landed on top. Great texture in the background too.

Great work Ina! I love the use of pinks/purples with the cogs. Usually everyone gives a rust or metallic finish.
ReplyDeleteYou have become a great mixed media artist. This is well constructed and I like your choice of colors too.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous colours and I love how you've combined the cogs with the maple leaf. A glorious mixed media project x.
ReplyDeleteThose layered cogs look so fun and cool with the big maple leaf! I just love all this texture and color!
