Wall Hanging By Kim Kelley

A wall hanging with Paverpol.

I was thrilled with how easy it was to create my own background and

with just a few items an actual project you can hang up as decor.

I started out using bits and pieces of the Pavercotton as well as some cheesecloth.

 

The larger pieces I did end up soaking them in a plastic bag with the transparent Paverpol

but the smaller ones I used a paint brush to get it where I wanted them to adhere to each other.

 

Since I knew I wanted this to hang I wrapped the edges on

a dowel I had laying around.

 

 

After manuvering the pieces around and around

and around I finally got them where I wanted them.

 

And let it dry...

Surprisingly that process does not take that long.

With in a few hours, even in the thickest areas, it was completely dry.

 

 

I chose a digital image from The East Wind...printing her with

a scripture "Psalm 139:14" and screwed it up. Of course it wasn't until

I had colored AND adhered her to the background that I noticed it! ARG

 

Yup...spelled wonderfully with out the f.

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR WORK BEFORE PRINTING

So I changed it, reprinted, recolored and glued the neck portion on.

I added some chain and then shear ribbon to hang with and ended up

with a cute and simple wall hanging.

 

 

Now a lot of people would have fix it, moved on and NEVER admitted to it...

but for me that's not what art is about...it's about;

creating, messing up, changing it, learning from it and

passing on what we learn.
