Angel Assemblage... Day 2!

I dedicated several hours to working on this angel today.

With a dry base coat of flat black over the entire piece,

I then began layering and gluing some scrap-booking papers.

Next... I recklessly painted gesso over the entire piece: 

papers, doll head, wooden legs, etc. (getting "brave" in my old age)

Then... I immediately wiped it off using a rag dampened with water.

I am so pleased with the effect; 

sort of a weathered, white-washed look!

I am planning of painting the cloth over-lay head, 

adding something to the wooden wings and also 

some color to the legs... I originally had thought

that I would add wood finial and paper clay arms... 

now I'm not so sure.

Thank you for stopping by... enjoy this day!  Daryle
