Welcome back to our challenge Mixed Media lovers - as always we are an Anything Goes challenge at Creative Artiste Mixed Media. I've chosen to do another 7" x 5" canvas. I love the size of these canvases but I'm going to have to challenge myself to do some bigger ones soon.
I'm curious - do you plan your projects? Do you always have an idea in your head exactly what you are going to do before you start because I know I certainly don't. Does it show? lol! I start and then it just kind of evolves - that's if I'm lucky. There have been times when I've just had to rip it off and start again. But this one worked just as I'd hoped.
It didn't really set out to be a time piece as such but that's how it evolved. I added all my base layers with inks and stamps and used Liquitex Acrylic ink in Muted Grey over some Distress Spray Stain in Antique Linen. The clock images are from a Creative Expressions stamp set which I haven't used in a while and the pen nibs are from Tracy Evants. I found the little circle fob watch in my stash - I think it's an old Tim Holtz Ideaology one. I stamped a clock face on the inside and then covered it in gold wax and added a little chain. The sentiments and numbers are from Tracy Evans and the paper doll is Tim Holtz. I added some extra Pebeo wax around the edges.
