FaLL Fest Photo Stand~In prop

 The theme for FaLL Fest was Fiesta! this year.

The SiSnLaw asked if I could do some kind of decoration 

with a Mariachi Band.

Of course.

It took me two months to come to the 11th hour with it~

The Idea Thought Train went like this:

Plywood and Tempra Paint ~ Yeah! No! 

400 overly excited kids running around;

no need for anyone to get squished.

Giant Piece of Foam Board ~ Yeah! No! 

Couldn't find one big enough.

Taping together multi pieces expensive and crappy looking.

Sheet ~ Yeah! No!

That's gonna use a LOT of Paint.

Fellow Artistic Friends come through with the Right Idea.

Appliance Box Cardboard.

Perfect.

Using a giant piece of Cardboard

I covered the front part with White RoLL PaPer 

{usually found in your school's office or art class}

and Spray Adhesive.

I did have to use two pieces, but the seam was near perfect.

Onward to the drawing,

I used my Projector to quickly sketch out the figures.

Then the Fun part!

Bring on the Rainbow....Tempra Paints, Hello~

Word of Warning:

Cardboard plus PaPer makes for VERY Absorbent canvas..

Test paint before starting actually Board.

I did 2 to 3 layers for each color to get it really Vibrant.

 Here's a sample of the playlist for said Artwork:

After I finished all the painting and outlining,

I laid the board on the ground, traced around a paper plate,

and cut it out with a Sharp Blade.

CoLoRful Duct Tape was used for the edges and packing tape on the pack.

This also helped create a sturdy binding for the rope to go through and not tear.

Using a Philips Head Screw driver, 

I punched holes across the top and a few down the side,

and wove the rope into it.

I hung it up between two poles with plenty of room behind it.

Hung some ribbon and there ya go.

Finger Paint's PurPLe PaLeTTe

 

Like sugar coated plums,

Purple Palette is
a shimmering November night.

It's the perfect purple
to those vivid Autumn CoLoRs ~
Burnt Orange, Rusty Reds, and Deep Browns.

Taking a break
from all the baking and cooking?

Look Hot by adding some
shimmy shimmy coco bop to your night out.

Like most GLiTTeR Polishes, 
it is thick
and can be messy to spread.
The top finger is 1 coat
The next is 3 coats,
and the next is 2 coats.
I wanted a bigger contrast
in the coats, so I put
the darkest in the middle.

I would recommend
adding a top coat

to enhance
the color and the glimmer.

It tends to dry flat.



I think this is my new November color.

PrisciLLa's EaRThLy DeLighTs

Purses are one of my quirks,
a mini~quirk of my major~quirk
The Backpack;
making it capable of allowing me to bring a caravan of STuFF
in one manageable, stylish piece.

This vintage purse is in excellent condition,

and begging for a day out for Shopping,

or lunch with The Chook Man.

{Priscilla says: It's never to early for LoVe or Cocktails!}

It's a solid, well dressed purse and

That chunky, teardrop lock screams attitude:

I'm a Lady, but I'll kick your ass.

It really is a LoVeLy piece.



I Could Be Good For You

Raphael?? No, RAFFLE painting...

School Festivals are so exciting.

I remember all the CooL Stuff they had at my elementary school functions.

Fall Fest is really big at the Womb Weebles school 

and I always do my best to participate.

Here is this years Raffle contribution.

{last year was another Fleur de Lis painting,

year before was the GLiTTeRized Bread Dough Fleur de Lis ornaments}

You can't go wrong in Saints Country with a Fleur de Lis.

Using Dark Pinks,
Earth and Mocha Browns,
along with Stone colors,
I painted a small canvas in acrylics.


Surprisingly, Fleur de Lis's can be difficult.
Thank goodness for tracing paper!

Most importantly, The Kiddos see me participating.

My "VinTaGe" Art....or work i've done in the past

This piece is one that was more fun, than hard.

A class project where we took a piece of art

from a favorite artist and put our Selves in the painting.

At the time I was really big into Klimt

{along with Dead Can Dance and Nag Champa}

I still LoVe Klimt.

{along with Dead Can Dance and Nag Champa}

Using my ultimate fave way of drawing:

chiaroscuro,

I went with Klimt's Danae.

One thing I did learn was this:
My professor knew right off that I had used a photo

because of the flatness of the light/dark contrast in the face.

This taught me to really look at how the Light is hitting

which has always been a problem for Me.

I really must look into going back to School!

My FaVoRiTe tOOLs ~ Le STaPLe Gun

 

No permit needed for this baby!

Invaluable tool to have especially for stretching canvases.

Or hanging Holiday HoHo Decor

Or holding balsa wood together while drying

Attaching string/wire for your Vines to grow on

Notes to a door...

Not the Fingers though....just sayin.
