Choose To Shine - Round Mixed Media Canvas

Hello everyone
I am here to share my new mixed media canvas with you all. I made this canvas taking inspiration from the September Art Recipe Moodboard on the Finnabair blog. I was really excited to work with the given moodboard and make something on a round canvas. So here is what I made....

So, the challenge consists of colour palette and products and I had to use any 2 of the products from the list they gave....so here are the options for colors and products

Colours of September Art Recipe:
carmine red, brown, golden

Products:
Art Alchemy: Liquid Acrylics
Art Extravagance: Fantasy Texture Paste
Art Ingredients: Glass Glitter
Finnabair Stencils

I decided to use the new Finnabair stencil, Vintage Gold Icing Paste and Sterling Glass Glitter. I have still not able to get Liquid Acrylics here so I decided to use New Lindy's Squirts to add color to my canvas. I used Hockey Puck Black, Maple Syrup Bronze, Beaver Tail Brown, Oh Canada Crimson and Canadian Bacon Blush.

I used an old clock as the base for my project.....added gesso, texture paste and some art stones to build my background. Once everything was dry, I added colors to it...so it was easy to build over it. Then, I came back with clay pieces, metal embellishments and  chipboard embellishments to add layers and dimensions to my canvas. Before adhering it all, I stencilled my icing paste in some random areas......its was important to do it now as later I wouldnt be able to do it comfortably. here is a closeup of the focal image.

I then colored all the embellishments on the canvas and added the focal picture. To add highlights, IO have used 3 art alchemy waxes - Vintage Gold, Whilte Gold and Fire Ruby. These waxes give such an amazing finish to my canvas....it all came together after this. To add more interest I added dyed cheesecloth in few places to give a feel of veil. To finish it all, I added glass glitter and some fine glitter. Here are some more closeups

I hope you all liked my project. I am linking it to the following blog challenges:

1. Finnabair Art Recipe - September 2019 Moodboard
2. More Than Words - October Moodboard Challenge - Costume and Black Background - I have added a small mask to the image giving it a feel of costume. I was going for the look of a seer without giving it an entire costume.
