A panoramic photo taken by my Mother-in-law a long time ago. I used watercolors on the right in a small area in purple. I flicked on gold acrylic,then purple, then gel medium. Theres som splotches of alcohol ink. I put some paste on with a stencil made with a hole puncher in posterboard.
Before the gel dried i poured clear microbeads into it. I flicked on pearlex all over and smoothed it on vertically.
I painted the alphas with purple and blue acrylic slightly blended together, then inked in violet, the embossed with 4 layers of UTEE.
The dragonfly is sculpy clay, then painted and i put some crackle on.
I tried to think of way to make a waterfall with stuff but couldnt. I do love the way water glitters ,shines and reflects, which fits in with my love of bling(conveniently)
