Another week has passed and this time I have an action shot!
I have NO idea what this is going to be!
Our 45 year old freezer recently broke so we needed a new one and it came in some lovely corrugated cardboard which I immediately snaffled away as it looked too good for recycling!
I have just applied some gesso roughly to the surface whilst I think about what to do with it.
I am tempted to stencil a background and paint over it then cut it into smaller pieces to abandon at Upfest at the weekend (Europes largest street art festival, and it's held in my home town of Bristol) but I am waiting for my mojo to sit up and take notice!!
My "Man Bites Dog" cards are 'Nurse Revealed Naked Star Lover'-watch this space!!
Happy crafting
Kyla

Hi Kyla, I love the cardboard too - the texture is great! Look forward to seeing what you come up with. Also fair going on the freezer - it was older than me! Lyns xx #20
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing where you go next with that fabulous cardboard. Have you tried Carolyn Dube's free Permission to Play workshop? You can also find her group on Facebook (A Colorful Place to Play). Happy WOYWW Sarah #23

ReplyDeleteBest wishes for your Upfest! That sounds exciting. I like your rough gesso-ing, mainly because i enjoy using gesso in a similar way. your "Man Bites Dog" cards are,a s always, witty and entertaining.

Nice little snag! I will look forward to seeing what crafty creations you make of it! Painting in gesso was a good start! Thanks for sharing, Lindart #33 - but Mr Linky will take you to a page that says my post does not exist - Fake News! click on "home" and it will take you to the post!
ReplyDeleteHave fun researching the final result for this, Kyla I use Pinterest when I'm stuck or just unsure... happy belated WOYWW!!! Shaz in Oz.x 39
ReplyDeleteI'm having to take my time getting round this week due to a bad head cold but I'll get there. Look forward to seeing what you do with the card, I so love corrugated card. Happy belated woyww, Angela x19x
ReplyDeleteI'm so late that I've seen some Upfest reports on FB, it looks amazing, you sure had a good weekend! I can just see you clapping your hands and being a bit giddy about snaffling this corrugated wrap! Bet its kick started your mojo too, regarding any new 'blank page'!
ReplyDeleteMorning Kyla. Trust you get lots of inspiration for that cardboard before the weekend!!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

I didn't know about Upfest! We might take a look! Would like to see what you do with that cardboard next! It gives you lots of freedom to work with a substrate you would have otherwise thrown away! Enjoy the festival! zsuzsa #29
ReplyDeleteGesso. Always a good start! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!
