2021 Topic 12: Sustainable Crafting
Kate
is here with us today, and she's inspired by all the gold that you see
in Gustav Klimt art (one of my faves too), maybe you may like to study
an artist and see if they can push your art in a different direction, it
can be fun to try something totally different and you might surprise
yourself with what you make and the creative route you travel.

Hi everyone, it's Kate (Kate Yetter – Musings, Tea and Drippy Paint) with you today, and I'm here to share with you a mixed media card inspired by the art of Gustav Klimt.
I
was excited to try this technique as as it was the perfect opportunity
to use various styled stamps and colors in a collaged into one project.
As
this project is themed sustainable crafting, I decided to dig out an
old art journal page that should have been trashed and decided to give
it new life as a card front. I started by covering it in Mud Splat. As
you can see, it was a disaster.
To
cover it up, I painted a gesso wash over the entire thing and then
covered it in Cheesecake Chalk Paint. I then chose various stamps and
stencils to collage in the background.
After adding some pen outline and embossing, my background was finished.
Next, I stamped out a Lynne Perrella image and colored it with pencils and a light wash of caramel chalk paint.
I added some hair that reminded me of of the style in Klimt's painting.
I added a few embellishments to her clothing with fibers and stamped butterflies.
And here is the completed piece again.
I
wasn't sure I liked this project several times throughout the process
but in the end, it turned out to my liking. Maybe in the future, I would
like to give this idea another go using more images as I think this
could be a fun series. Are there any artists that would inspire you to
create a project using their techniques?
Until Next Time,
Kate

Love that you chose to use the work of an artist as the inspiration for your card creativity and what a terrific result
The lady made over with her Klimt hairstyle is reminiscent of some seen in Klimts work.
Terrific - tfs x
