When it all goes horribly wrong

Started out quite enthusiastically with this one

but that soon fizzled

Had Finabair's Patina Effect Paste set for a long time now

but never got around to using them

was booked to do her "Poetry of Patina" workshop but that was one of the projects that went by the book when the workshops were cancelled

So I thought I would just wing it

stupid Debbie

so am using this as a lesson in Learning To Live with A Disaster

(did actually bin it, but got told off by husband dearest)

Have even hung it on the wall and it doesn't look too bad

from a distance

without my glasses

Started off with a bit of old fence panel

gesso'd it white and did the sticking of random bits & bobs thing

all was looking ok at this point

although that butterfly bothered me from the start

Gesso'd it all white again

and then lost the plot

The patina set just not my cup of tea

which was a huge disappointment

but I guess it's ok not to like every product available

I am a HUGE fan of Finnabair's original rust paste set and use pots and pots of it - would rust up everything if I could

In the end I covered up more of the blue than intended

and added some darker blue using wax

Quite like the bit on the far left!!!

BUT ...

at least I have managed to create another project this week

after the wilderness months since Christmas when artwork of any description was impossible
