~ My debut post as a team designer for Artistcellar ~
Welcome to Artistscellar's regularly scheduled Friday posting with, me, Jackie!
Can I tell you, I am so happy and so excited that you have joined me for my first official post as a Artistcellar Design Team Member!
When I was asked to join AC's team-my excitement got the best of me, as, I ran through the house whooping and hollering and ended up tripping over the dog!~ Disclaimer~ Neither Chum nor I were seriously hurt! teehee
Since calming down, I have been in my studio playing with my wonderful set of Sacred Hearts Stencils! I have practiced, played and tried different mediums and techniques and came up with some really cool pieces, but have picked my favorite to share with you today!
So without further delay...
First I taped off my stencil to give me more room to hold and tape it down. Then I mixed
Liquitex Flexible Modeling Paste with Golden Fluid Acrylics in Bone Black and Naphthol Red.
This blend was applied to the inside of the heart and as I moved out I added Quinacridone NickleAzoGold, also by Golden Fluid Acrylics, to alter and blend the colors even more.
After removing the stencil and drying the piece, I put the stencil back in place and added more color with a makeup sponge.Colors used are Luminarte Silks~SpicyTomato & Sunburst both available at Artistcellar. And if you haven't tried Silks yet, you should!
Making sure the Silks were dry, the next step was to apply KROMA Crackle medium with a paintbrush.
Once I liked where the crackle was, I heated up my wax and added thin layer after thin layer across the whole piece. I then brushed wax across the top of the bark while holding it upright so the wax would drip. I used red wax close to the heart to give the appearance of bleeding.
The last thing was to find the right piece from the yard to use for hanging and add the embellishments.
I do hope you enjoyed what I shared and if so, see you next week!

Wonderful Jackie...interesting materials and techniques. I'm a little confulsed...is the bark background part of the heart stencil?
fantastic project and I LOVE all that texture!
What a magnificent surprise to see how you used the stencil. Love the texture concepts with wax and Kroma Crackle and all of that is such a perfect contrast on the bark. This piece is rooted in "Sacred Nature" elements!! Love it! Congrats on your AC post.

Love the clear and concise description. And, the religious connotation of the heart stencil is very interesting. Waiting for the next one. Carol
Wanted to stop by and say 'HI' and thank you for your lovely comments on my PaperArtsy GD spot. Your work is beautiful, so vibrant and joyous, but when I tried to follow on the post I found Google died on me! I seem to have landed on a different post altogether! It's still lovely. I feel like Alice travelling randomly around Wonderland! I'll try and follow you again! Julie Ann xx
This is brilliant Jackie. Congratulations!
