Always and Forever Valentine Heart Wall Hanging

February 14, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

My funny Valentine is off at a soccer tournament with my oldest this weekend, so I am taking the time to get some things together for when he gets home.  I am making his favorite cheesecake, some cookies and this little wallhanging with the title to a favorite song.

The project started with this wood heart from Hobby Lobby. It’s about 12″ x 12″.

First I applied heavy gel medium to the surface with a paint brush and adhered a sheer, silver-printed tissue paper over the top. It’s easy to rip the excess and sand around the edges for the perfect fit.

Then I stamped the ‘Travel Documents’ background from my Palettini line, made exclusively for Technique Junkies, with archival black ink onto the surface.  I rotated the stamp, and sometimes did not reink in-between impressions to get a nice blended background.

Then I painted a heart onto the left hand side, with two colors of Art Anthology Velvet paint, in Persimmon and Wineberry.

Next I brushed on Art Anthology Mayan Gold velvet paint in from the edges…

followed by a light application of Art Anthology’s Aloha velvet paint, lightly overlapping the Mayan Gold to blend the colors. I also outlined the heart with Black Leather Jacket sorbet paint, with a little bit of Big Dip o’ Ruby sorbet paint around the edges for some sparkle.

Next I applied some Drab sorbet paint, blending out about an inch all the way around the heart to give it some dimension.

I sprayed over the entire project lightly with Warm Colorations Spray, also from Art Anthology. I love how it looks. It is my go-to finishing color.

I attached some chipboard letters, painted with Black Leather Jacket sorbet paint. Here are some close-up photos so you can see how textured it is.

Finally, I adhered a black felt applique from my old Prima stash, to the edge of the heart and threaded a ribbon through the wood to allow it to hang on the front door. Lucky for me, there is a glass storm door as well to protect it from the elements. A nice welcome home for my Valentine.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

About Sally Lynn MacDonald

Sally Lynn is an Anarchivist® that often mixes her love of creating and teaching art with her high-tech side – blending a love of handmade art with hybrid-digital media in what she playfully calls her ‘studio lab’. Every now and then her large-format printer is subjected to printing on a surface that definitely is not listed in the owners’ manual.

She is a maven for studio organization, using her abilities to use spreadsheets and databases to bring order from chaos. “It’s marvelous when the right and left brain actually work together in the studio!” Read More…

Only the top row are included in the set. The remaining colors are mixed, and tinted 10:1; with those that are intended to emulate tube colors, painted out along the bottom third with their counterparts.

P.S. If you look for this set in the store, make sure to pick up the updated set, which replaces the Hansa Yellows with the new Benzimidazolone Yellows.

Amazing evocative #portraiture artwork by @calidag Amazing evocative #portraiture artwork by @calidagarciarawles . In 'The Space in Which We Travel' (2019), two girls in white dresses grasp each other’s hands, creating the impression of a double helix. “If they opened their eyes,” Rawles said, “they would see each other.” Water has memory. Lovely!

Just finished this little painting in my #sketchbo Just finished this little painting in my #sketchbook over a light pickup #monoprint for the background. I was reading a book on the porch this afternoon during a light rain, and dozed off; only to be woken up by a very annoying little egret sitting atop a palm tree across from me. His antics were so funny that I called my daughter out to hear him. And so I painted it in my sketchbook for a little memory. Can you find the egret?

Working on the courtyard patio. The weather is so Working on the courtyard patio. The weather is so lovely today, and so I dug out some chairs and a table from the garage and our new @abba_patio 7x9 #cantileverumbrella to create a seating area to enjoy. These days staying at home is all about #outdoorliving and creating spaces to nest in, work on the laptop, read a book, sketch some plants or enjoy a cocktail as a family.

There is something very cathartic, very centering There is something very cathartic, very centering about hanging artwork on the wall. When a piece speaks to you and you choose to put it in your space - in your life... elevate that experience by purchasing that piece from an artist. NOT from a HomeGoods, but original artwork from a person. In this case Ben Dodge. I saw his work in Pressing Matters magazine and I had to have it.
.
Sister Corita Kent Rule No 6 by @bendodge which I saw in issue 11 of @pressingmattersmag and tracked down the artist to buy his work. 🙂
.
Which led me down the rabbit hole to learn about both artists and printmaker Sister Corita Kent who inspired the piece.
