I started by gluing down wooden pegs and old broken jewellery and using Little Birdie Embossing Texture Paste. I LOVE this paste, watching it dry under a heat gun is so satisfying. Watching it bubble up is amazing fun. The end result is kind of spongy and soft.
I then painted the whole thing with white gesso.

I then used a little bit of dylusions paint (tangerine dream) with
white gesso to get this pretty cream colour.

I then smudged some white gesso over the top to blend in the
cream to a more vintage look. I used
 art alchemy artist wax colours (Firebird and White gold) over the whole
thing. I started with a soft brush, working the White gold into the gaps of the pegs, jewellery and texture paste. I used my finger tip to rub in the firebird in spots
here and there to give it an aged look. I also used lindy's starburst sprays
(glory of the seas gold).
This gave it an amazing shimmer and the amazing
speckles you see in the work.

I took inspiration from the black lace in the mood board and just had to use it in my artwork. I also had this amazing rose gold beaded lace to edge the black.

I then added Little birdie flowers and white pearl beads.
Oh my goodness i love these flowers, so pretty.
