The challenge is to be inspired by Terracotta. It doesn't have to be a monochromatic
terra-cotta colour, but something that speaks to you of terra-cotta. Could be pots or tiles with a teal patina. A garden with pots, roof tops, tessellated verandahs, etc, etc.
Just remember to create on Kraft, so that Kraft is the hero of your piece.
I spent ages sifting through photos for something to inspire me and do justice to this fabulous graphic. Then I had an ah hah! discovery amongst my travel photos and decided to teach myself to stitch some photos together. Thank goodness for you tube.
The bricks were created with a Prima stencil
I used Art Basics Finnabair Plaster and Rust paste through the stencil.
The journalling is a bit hard to read on the page, so I've included it here,
in case you are interested in the back story.
I enjoy reading your comments and appreciate you leaving them. Thank you.
