Down on the Farm

Good Morning everyone.  

Thank you for your amazing comments on my crow leaf card last week.

Today im sharing a mixed media piece i made for my dad for Father's day.  Its using those fab katzelkraft farm animal stamps again and a view into the barn on the farm.  I started with a cheap plastic white frame which i made more barn like with lots of paints and mediums.

I removed the glass and lightly sanded the white plastic frame to give it a key and coated with gesso.  I added touches of texture paste here and there around the outside, i then sponged on black, copper, brown, blue & green paints, once completely dry i vanished it.

I took a piece of wood grain paper big enough for the inside of the frame, i stencilled on some stars using the copper paint i used on the frame.  I then stamped my animals and coloured with inktense pencils in bright colours, and then fussy cut them out, glossy accents on their eyes. 

Here we have a conference - Mr Cockerel is this weeks speaker.

I added a little bit of copper wire behind, reindeer moss on the floor to act like straw.  My animals were all added with glue gel, adding more on the pig to bring him right to the front. 

This is the Cow Choir - Mr duck isn't impressed😁

Mr Donkey, a giant spider and cobweb in the background with a horseshoe (or donkeyshoe).  The horseshoe was silver so i added black acrylic paint and buffed some off to age it more.  My cobweb and spider were cut from black card and silver paint lightly dabbed on.

In the wood shed where the rabbit is hiding out.  Mini logs layered up.  I added some mini tools to the back with a metal brad and a couple more just left on the wood.  Again i added black paint and wiped off the tools to age them.

This shows the frame before - it came from poundland
