Abyssimo Style Abstract

Modelling paste anchored down with cotton scrim.

Once dry, edges cut off and tidied up.

Colour pallet chosen.

Paint applied. 

I wanted mine to be bright, bold and vivid.

There is a FREE tutorial by Abyssimo here which I followed to create the above.

Vintage Style Tags and Postcards

Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the two 12 x 12 pieces of paper I started with.  They were awful and needed covering up with gesso!

Using scraps and some ephemera I created some postcards.

And some more and a couple of tags.

Once I'd taken the photos I decided they needed a bit more to finish them off.

So I added some random pieces of tissue tape.

Close ups of the postcards.

And the tags.

I used 3d foam to make the focal images pop out from the backgrounds.
