Inspired by Susi's wonderful video I made my first mixed-media canvas. It's for Art Journal Journey Challenge 08/2014
"Frida"
"Frida"
I used as a background the lid of a shoe box. Painted it first with golden acrylic/glue-mix. Then glued pieces of scrap papers in different shapes, colours and sizes. To get the surface hard enough I painted all with vernish.Then added the printed Frida's portrait (her own painting), made her dress from pieces of papers. Then glued the whole work with napkin glue, added embellishments and the printed Frida's quote.
The edges of the box lid I painted with acrylic and ink.
Thank you for your interest.

Susin opetusvideosta inspiroituneena tein ensimmäisen
mixed-media kanvakseni.
Käytin taustana kenkälaatikon kantta. Maalasin sen ensin kulta/ akryyli/liima-sekoituksella. Sitten liimasin kanteen eri värisiä, kokoisia ja muotoisia paperinpaloja. Saadakseni pinnan tarpeeksi kovaksi lakkasin koko työn vielä servettiliimalla.
Lopuksi liimasin printatun Fridan oma-kuvan, koristeet ja paperille tulostetut Fridan sanat.
Työn reunukset maalalsin akryylillä ja musteella.
Kiitos mielenkiinnostasi.

Very well done, Sirkkis, you've taken Susi's video then made the picture in your own style. This is terrific, I like the way you have made the skirt and the interesting background.

Ihana, upea, voimallinen kaunis taideteos!
VastaaPoistaLovely, lovely! Beautiful canvas - very well done!
VastaaPoistaWOW what a triumph this is...
VastaaPoistaI really like that painting Frida did with her hair down. I just rewatched a video from long ago with Selma Hayak playing Friday and her braids that were connected in a circle in the back fascinated me as did the entire movie.
Susi is amazing and shares so much...I can see why you were inspired to create something after watching her video...
this is brilliant!

Thank you a lot Patty:) I've recorded the film and it made a geat impression on me. Salma looks very much like Frida in this marvellous film. Of course it's sad but as Frida said 'I paint my reality' it was her life indeed. This challenge has been so inspiring, isn't it.
VastaaPoistaHugs!
Waude upea Frida-taulu!
VastaaPoistaVery amazing collage with Frida. Wonderful artwork. I like it much.
