Hello,
This time I made two vintage-style tags with a whole bunch of Finnabair products. Each of the projects is a composition full of structures and contrasts, made using the mixed media technique.
The base was two tags made of HDF material, which, due to their thickness, constitute a solid foundation for the project. I arranged layered compositions on them using various elements: Finnabair chipboards, old laces, castings from moulds and clay mass, and metal accessories - such as flowers and small details. These elements built the spatiality and character of the whole project.
I also reached for a structural paste, which gave additional texture and made the surface not completely flat. I glued the whole thing with Soft Matte Gel and Heavy Body Gel.
After building the composition, I dried the whole project thoroughly and then primed it with white gesso. Thanks to this, the surface was ready to receive the color. I reached for paints from the Liquid Acrylic Paint series and used three colors that smoothly interpenetrated. After they were completely dry, I moved on to the final stage - whitening, which allowed me to pull out the most protruding fragments of the composition and give the project depth. This is how the tag duet was created.
Have a nice day,
Kasia Salmanowicz
