Hello Sweeties,
Today I’m up on Dusty Attic blog with a small mixed media frame.

I started by making a background for the frame using a piece of cardboard that I covered with canvas. Then, I primed them both with white gesso.

I selected different sizes of gears and a few leaves from the Botanical Mix chipboards. I primed all the selected chipboards with white gesso. I glued all the elements in place around the photo and added a few flowers as well.

I colored the gears and botanical mix with the Burnt Umber liquid acrylic and a lot of water. When happy with the result I added some White Gold and Old White waxes.

I covered the frame with clear gesso. When dry, I colored it with brown and black liquid acrylic paints. Then I dry brush with white gesso to whiten the frame.

To finish, I added some glitter.
