Mountain

It's another Craft Barn challenge; this time the words are mountain or mistake. As usual the search began for a quote that inspired me, and I actually saw this quote via Goodreads pop up which was perfect for the task. It is a quote from The Land of Heart's Desire by W.B. Yeats.

Here is my page.



I used two distress inks to create the blue background - salty ocean and peacock feathers. I then used part of a splodge away stenskape to create the mountain with black distress ink. I stamped the lavinia ivy at the top with archival ink. I then wrote out the quote with a white posca pen and then outlined all the letters with a pink wink of stella. Finally I stamped on the fairies and stars (also lavinia) and coloured in their wings with pink and purple wink of stella pens.

  5. I was blown away by those fairies that seem to fit perfectly (and flawlessly) in the poem, as well as up the mountain. You did a brilliant job illustrating the page and documenting the poem.
