Moon

It's Craft Barn time again and the words this time are moon or sensation. It was much more easy to find a quote this time.....hurrah! I chose a limerick by Edward Lear.

As usual half the background was already there from excess ink off the previous page and so I added some distress spray stain in peacock feathers to fill in the gaps. Then I used the moon from a Splodge away stenskape which I coloured gold with Viva Decor inka gold and precious metals. Then I used splodge away trees with blue inka gold at the bottom. Then I drew a man in a balloon with a black posca pen and coloured it with metallic molotow pens. Then I wrote on the quote with a silver molotow pen and finally I added some teal and midnight create expressions gilding wax around the edge.

  5. Very clever idea. The limerick is quite as silly as most limericks, but they are all lots of fun I think. I like limericks and you interpreted this one brilliantly :o))

  6. I don't think I've seen a limerick until now during this challenge. It is adorable, and so are your wonderful images. Sorry, I have no idea what "splodge" is, though. Regardless, this is a lovely entry.

  9. Everything about this piece is just lovely...the background, the trees, the moon, the quote, yes, everything! I am always impressed when someone says their piece started out as a wiping spot for extra paint!
