Leaf with Mica I 4" x 6.5" 8.8.06
Mixed Media on wood
When my husband got home last night he said that he liked the pieces, but that he did not like the mica. To me, they add a new texture and a place for your eyes to rest. I used sand mixed in gel medium for the background, beeswax for the 'buttons', dried foliage, mica, acrylics, and gold paste. Perhaps they would have been more simple without the mica, yet, there is nothing simple or smooth about the compositions. In fact, they are almost too busy for my liking and I don't think I will work with such a textured background again, atleast in this type of application.
