"Gold Dragonfly, Red Leaves" Mixed Media Collage 6x6

Remember the blue canvas from the post "Production Line" a little while back? "Gold Dragonfly, Red Leaves" is the completed collage.

Here, once again, is the canvas, painted in various blue washes and covered in plastic wrap.

When the paint was almost dry, the plastic wrap was removed and the canvas allowed to dry completely.

Now remember the palette paper that I used to clean my brushes?

I tore it in strips and wove them while gluing them to the canvas. Pretty, huh?

Then I covered it up (for the most part) with a piece of dark blue ogura lace paper.

After that, I applied everything else, splattered it with gold, varnished it and applied the metallic gold fabric paint outlines you see.

And that's all there is to it!
