Artful Monday - Textured Bird Mixed Media Piece [Stamping Mad]

Translate Into:

Originally uploaded by StampingMad

Over at Mixed Media Monday, the challenge is to make a piece with texture. I used a really thick coat of acrylic paint over sequin waste to make my textured background. The bird is liquid watercolor and a bit of metallic golden watercolor. The gold watercolor also went over the background in a wash. The phrase is a rub on. I love those things.
