Mixed Media Art Canvas - Steampunk Dragonflies

[scribe712]

I have drawers in my studio filled with items to be used in mixed-media art pieces but was having trouble figuring out where to start. Thanks for the inspiration!

[sharilul]

So glad I discovered you and your video's. Love it. Thank you for sharing.

[melodyl52]

Amazing! I just loved watching your work! Thank you for sharing your awesome video!

[regularwonderland]

what is the music in the background? (i absolutely love this piece, by the way!)

[RachO113]

@regularwonderland It's a Royalty Free piece that comes with Piannalce Studios Software. Unforunately, it is not available to download to my knowledge.

[jfryrn]

Amazing. Love the use of all the differ textures and medias. You are so creative. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

[craftytrog]

Fabulous! Have just been inspired by this video & altered a tin using texture paste, moulds & Lumiere paints. Linked here on my blog post, hope you get lots of new followers! x

[shoshiplatypus]

Absolutely stunning... Hard to find the words to respond adequately! Just when I thought you were about to finish, you added something else totally marvellous - I love what you did with the Glossy Accents at the end, and the colours simply shimmer. It's a little jewel. Your friend must have LOVED it!!

[alphafem75]

Hahaha.  I love it! Amazing. Usually I mute the music but yours has me bopping my head and tapping my feet! Total package you give - marveloux!!!

[paniecs]

don't know how i missed this one before. absolutely amazing.  i just knew rub n buff would come in somewhere but then you kept going. absolutely love it and will have to try some of these techniques. thanks so much.

Hello Rachel, I discovered your work recently and have become a total fan. You are an inspiration!

[dragonriding1]

Hi Rachel, As always just full of admiration for your work...can I ask you what on earth do you do with all the things you make? Do you sell them? I am not half as prolific as you yet my craft room is chokka....luckily i have a sympathetic husband....
