QUEEN AMIDALA

Flying Unicorn - FORUM

MIXED MEDIA TUTORIAL

Well I must tell you I don't watch "Star Wars" movies but I loved the photo of  Natalie Portman playing "Queen Amidala".  She's one of my favorite actresses right now along with Keira Knightley.

STEP ONE:  Started with a canvas that was in my "Flying Unicorn" July kit.  Added the "Tattered Angels" screen that was in the kit and misted/sprayed the canvas.  When that was dry I laid out my elements.

STEP TWO:  I added "Glossy Accents" to the "Dusty Attic" chipboard that I purchased at the "Flying Unicorn.

STEP THREE:  Create punch work border to frame the "Dusty Attic".  Spray it with "Tattered Angels" Glimmer Mist.

STEP FOUR:  Once the "Glossy Accents" dries use a swab to add touches of  "Ranger" red alcohol ink.  Then start adding the punch work to the frame.  Detail on the right of the photo.

STEP FIVE:  After adding the punch work around the frame, I add the organza fabric....."Walmart" dollar special.  I sprayed some "Tattered Angels" Glimmer Mist - Black Magic on the fabric.  The fabric I cut into a strip of about 3-4" wide and 50" long.  I twisted and glued behind the frame.

STEP SIX: Assortment of beads and elements to add to the mosaic pattern.

STEP SEVEN: Layout the beads and form a pattern before gluing.  I wasn't sure where I was going with the mosaic.
