Three more pieces of Skye




last week I showed you what I was working on at the moment.
small wooden collaged panels, covered in paper and paint. I call these 'little pieces of Skye'


The butterfly embellishments are made from plastic which I covered in iridescent medium
.


I left some of the butterfly overlapping the edge which shows on this photo.


I covered the finished piece in satin acrylic medium which gives a lovely glass like finish.


 



No sign of any butterflies yet! :)

    These are looking great. Iridescent medium, satin acrylic medium there are so many out there. I am going to have to be more adventurous and experiment with some of them. Thanks for the info on the texture paste.

    Morag your art is delightful! I love the textures and colors, so attracting and rich it keeps drawing me back to look at your piece of Skye and beautiful photos. Scotland is magical and it certainly reflects in your art work!

    It's all so beautiful Morag. You do an amazing job at really completing your collages. I never know quite how to get that finished look with papers and mine always look just stuck on there.

    Your scenery is breathtaking as is your art. Have a great weekend!

    I love these Skye pieces. I wish I lived closer as I would love to buy one. I'd love to have it hanging in my home. For some reason, I just saw that you lived on the Isle of Skye. So the fairies and mermaids make so much sense. I love thinking of the lore that you must have grown up with. Have a lovely week.

    Morag this is so gorgeous! I can only imagine what this looks like in person. This is a piece for pixlr to change saturation and darken slightly then change the colors just to see how gorgeous....you could use printed papers of it for more collage and done up as prints or card. The texture and pattern is so beautiful and inspirational! I love the color so much....fabulous!

    These are truly beautiful works of art Morag! I feel their magic just by looking at them through your site, imagine in reality?
    Oh, and the answer to your question about the wood circle for the fairy's door is reclaimed wood from an old coaster….just needed sanding.

    I really like how you placed your art next to the inspiration photo. Beautiful place to live and create art in and about! I always like to see your process! The layer makes your art so intriguing!
