Mannequin for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges

My project this month for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog is a Mannequin


But first I want to show you what you could win if you enter this months challenge on our BLOG

The prize is donated by our generous sponsors Deco Art who have a great range of paint and other products - check out the website to see what they have and where you can buy it

Here is what you could win so get over to the blog and enter your mixed media project


The mannequin was given to me  by my bestie when we had a play date at her place
We went through her stash and gathered everything we might want to use on them



I used plasterers tape, gauze, wire and lots of hot glue sticks to drip over it, then added the embellishments - beads, metal flowers, old jewellery and just random bits we had there


Once I was happy with the placement of everything I  painted it with black gesso covering everything including the embellishments


When it was completely dry I used my favourite paint colours and painted randomly over the mannequin let the colours drip and blend in some parts


I added flowers and glass beads to finish it off




Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will be back soon xx
