I Just Call Her Mamma 1 of 9

I'll confess I don't normally use florals on my projects but this project has turned into my FAV for the year. Yep, I just might be converted. Ha!

My source of inspo is my mother for this project. These photos are some of my favs from her early days. She is 73 now and just as rockin' sassy, sweet, and independent but always classy and holding her on as a lady. Love her.

I used LOTS of layers, alchohol inks to distress, powders, glitters, sandpaper, Gesso, mists, watercolors, and stamping to re-live the mood of the photos. I even used a hammer on a few pieces. This project is not for those not wanting messy hands but fun was had and mission accomplished.

My project started as a blank 12x12 handmade paper in white as my “canvas” to unfold this story. I wanted to portray my mother's elegance, loves, and just timeless beauty. She is always so lighthearted, positive, and resilient and I captured this in the embellishment details and light mood of the watercolors.
