I sat with my teeny tiny brush putting gesso on these tree branches and as soon as I finished I had an epiphany which can be kind of painful when your mind is cruising on blank. Anyway, my revelation was that snow SPARKLES and I should make the snow sparkle. So, I get another teeny tiny brush and start to brush pearl ex on top of the gesso. I finally finished and THEN I realized that the pearl ex was rubbing off and I needed a fixative of some sort. So, I went back with another itty bitty brush and put hair spray on it. Holy cow and now you can't even see the sparkle in the picture. Doing my dork thing today, I guess.
I sure did have fun, though!
Anyway, this is for SC355 as well as HYCCT1117. Thanks to Libby and Roxie for challenging my brain today.
