'Unable to Fly'



 
Here it is....my FIRST Finnabair inspired project. I hope you will take the time to read the story behind it. It is very personal, but I am going to share it anyway...The title is 'Unable to fly', and that is actually about me. This is how I feel for a very long time. I have ups and downs, but the little angel inside the glass bowl is me. The angel is my soul and the glass bowl is my head....
 
 
About the canvas: This is the first time I used BLACK gesso, and boy it was scary!! Painting the whole thing black. I never ever thought I could create something beautiful out of it anymore.....but...sprays, inka gold, more sprays, golden acrylics iridescent paint, glass glitter and microbeads finally did their job...Here some detailed pictures:
 
 
 






 
Products I've used (first creating the background with white gesso, stencils and modelling paste):
 
 
Thank you so much for visiting,
 
Love, Sanderijn
