Freedom

It’s been a while!

I have been making but more soft crafts and nothing I felt like sharing. 

But recently managed to open up my art journal and create this double page using my ECL13 stamp set and watercolour paints.

Bowl

 


It’s taken a few weeks to make this papier-mâché bowl with all the drying time between layers but I am pleased with how it turned out and it looks good on this old milking stool.
I painted it using fresco paints.
