Friendship

Hi Everybody!
Hope you are all well!
Thanks for the nice comments last week.

Just a quick post, the day was too hot and time has just run through my hot and sticky fingers!

I used Michelangelo's wonderful painting as my image as I wanted to use the quote, 'Where hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched by joy'. I mounted the image onto scrap card and gave it a coat of Deco Art crackle varnish. I surrounded it with a frame made with Golden crackle paste, which I painted with gesso and then distressed with various shades of gold, green and black, adding some perfect pearls for more effect. I wanted to create the effect of an old plaster wall with the painting in the middle. I mounted it all onto peeled Cardboard, painted with gold chalk paint.






Have a great week you all, take care, 
and thanks a lot for coming by!
