Perspectives and Whimsies Relics & Artifacts Project
Sometimes, it’s all about how you view something. A simple change in perspective can make all the difference in mixed-media art. A whimsy is defined as “an odd or fanciful notion” and that is what this canvas is. It is a collection of the odd and fanciful items from The Shoppe and it experiments with gelatos and new materials to create something that is decidedly full of new perspectives and whimsies.
Perspectives and Whimsies — Relics & Artifacts Project Directions:
Collage an assortment of paper in geometric patterns onto the background of your substrate with gel medium. Let dry.
Dry brush white and turquoise paint over the collaged paper. Let dry, then lightly distress background with brown paint.

Paint Relics and Artifacts medallion and key with gold metallic paint. Let dry, and then age with an assortment of blended metallic gelatos.

Add a light layer of texture paste to the corners of the collage. Let dry.
Lightly blend iced rose gelato over dried texture paste to highlight the texture.
Randomly edge the canvas with iced rose gelato.
Glue vintage text to chipboard circle from the inside of the scalloped frame, and then use strong-hold glue to attach medallion. Glue to the background.
