A mandala from grapes

This project is my entry for:
'March Challenge' on Beccy's Place;
'More Mixed Media Challenge - Optional Green'. 
Proiectul meu pentru provocarea lunii martie, pe site-ul lui Beccy 
si pe site-ul More Mixed Media Challenge - Optional verde.


The image used was: 'Bunch of grapes' - Beccy's creation.

LH - Beccy's creation; RH - transformed image

Materials and techniques:
Materiale si tehnici:

- three layers: one green - card stock, one green covered with  acrylic silver color
                         (a very thin coat, just to create some shades) and a white board on
                         which I printed the mandala, circle shaped;
- a special hobby puncher used for the border of the second layer;
- for coloring : pencils for the center area, a green shiny gel pen, fineliner pens for leaves,
                          acrylic gold and red and some dots obtained with a pearl maker pen; 
- both sides adhesive tape between layers;
- between leaves areas I used  heat embossing.  

Felicitarea este realizata din trei straturi, lipite intre ele cu banda
autoadeziva. Elementul central este perforat cu model la capete si
este acoperit cu un strat argintiu, foarte usor. Pentru culori am folosit
creioane, carioci din care una cu gel, acrilice auriu si rosu, marker gel pentru
puncte si intre zonele cu frunze, culoare aplicata prim embosare la cald.

This time, a mandala was obtained from grapes!
It was fun!


Addicted to effects!



I wish you all, be safe and positive!
After the storm, the sun will shine again!

March Constellation

My creation for:
More Mixed Media Challenge: 'Anything goes + Optional red'.





Materials and techniques:
Materiale si tehnici:

- drops of hot glue: the funny effect was that between them, appeared a very, very thin 
  glue 'wire', an unintentionally connection, as you can see bellow;
  picaturi de silicon topit intre care s-a format un fir foarte subtire prin care s-au interconectat,
  asa cum se poate vedea in imagine;




- a green card with shiny effects (stock size), on which the drops were bonded;
- a red heart and a flower stamped in a red foam;
- a special Romanian symbol for March and Spring celebration, in red and white;
- acrylic gold color for painting the drops and  the background and red color for
  the 'wires'.
 


Pe carton verde cu model am lipit picaturile, o inima si o
floare stantate in spuma rosie, un fir de martisor si apoi
cu acrilice auriu si rosu am realizat efectele.




Could be a March Constellation? Perhaps...

ps. The frame is not real. Just for presentation!
