Hi you all! It's Friday again, so it's time for Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Kristin and Eva. Today I am sharing another of the water-colours I made in Israel many years back, and a mixed media piece made for another challenge.
The next piece has been made with mixed media techniques.
It is for the Alpha Challenge at the Craft Barn. This time we had to choose a word between ma & me! I chose Mezuza. I painted the page with gesso, and then gave it a thin coat of yellow and blue acrylics before spraying with some home made inks in green and blue and letting it drip. I printed the text of the Mezuzah and some of the pics onto tissue, and added them to the page. Other pics were cut out and fixed with foam pads. The little rolled up parchment is how the parchment goes into the casing. I added some random Hebrew alphas and some background stamping. The handwriting is a bit hard to decipher, sorry! I wrote Mezuzah in Hebrew with gold lettering for the title.
Here's wishing you all a relaxing weekend.
Take care, have fun, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Beautiful work, Val. I love them both, for different reasons! Hugs, Sarah

ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, Valerie. I can't read Hebrew but I'm guessing it says: Hear, O Israel, the Lord thy God is One God. Your artwork is presenting this is truly beautiful. And the scene your painted is gorgeous. Thanks for already coming by to visit.
