Litle doll in the frame be authentic one of a kind - A mechanical mixed media canvas

Hello and welcome,

today I want to show you a 3D mixed media canvas I've made. This was SO fun! A lot of layers and metallique. The paper Dolls is soften it up a bit. I really like the result and the play!




This is a canvas in size 17,5 x 23,5 cm. I have used a lot of embellishment that I have glued either with Soft Matte Gel or Glue Gun on my canvas first, 


then I paintet it all first with gesso


after gesso was dry I paintet all with Finnabairs acrylic Paint in metallique Emerald green and Deep waters.


Then I did some highlightning with white gesso for interest


I paintet the Prima resin frame with Finnabairs Paint in Opal Magic Violet-green first

I still think it was a bit too light so I used Lindy's spray in the color Baby Blue Eyes Aqua and sprayed a little here and there on the frame.


Now it looks better, and it's time to gather it all together on the canvas.



I painted some metal butterflies in the same color as the canvas and glue them down with glue gun.
The big butterfly is a butterfly that I have printed out from Pinterest, and used several layers of glossy accents, and then I have glued two small pieces of wire as antenna on the butterfly.

The Paper Dolls  in the frame is from Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Collection, the Words is quote chips from Tim Holtz.
The star and the number is Transparent Tiles, Alpha from Tim Holtz Idea-Ology.
The metal gear I do not know where comes from, I bought it on the internet a long time ago.
