Mixed Media Monday – Pretty in Pink

Posted By venita on July 7, 2008

Pretty In PinkWell I am a little late posting today.  But, I still want to share my Mixed Media Monday piece.  The theme this week is to use a singular color and all its variations.  So, I thought of my dear friend Kelly Kilmer and decided I would work in pink.  I have this great vintage image from ARTchix Studio again this week and she was already tinted pink.

 

So, off I went looking for every pink thing I had.  I created a 5.25 x 5 inches piece on watercolor paper.  The background was covered in pink tissue paper and then painted Golden’s Quinacridone Violet.  Then I covered the background in pale pink tulle.  Each corner has a torn pink wine label, which is then covered in paper roses.  And finally I finished her off with three pink dots (from a candy necklace wrapper).  This was a fun project and I think she is Pretty in Pink! 

 

Isn’t it amazing what you can do, when you push yourself?
