My original canvas has now had another 4 layers put on it.
Rosie added layer 2: string and tissue applied with Matte gel.
Pam layer 3 ?
Lou did layer 4: added the mask and chandelier.
Pauline did layer 5:  changed the colour of the mask from bright blue using napkins, added distress inks, glitter glue and crackle paint.

I added a final layer 6: black glitter on the mask edges and string, tucked black mesh behind the eye holes, black gel pen, distress stickles, bits from old jewellery, charms.  I might add some words into the string loops when I think of something.
I love this Pass the Painting  collaboration!

Louise 1st layer: paper scraps and glue, Elaine 2nd layer: gesso, distress ink, butterflies and large glitter (sprayed with spray adhesive), Pauline 3rd layer: hand-drawn bird cage, mod podge + napkin, watercolour background, outline butterflies.

These Pass the paintings are going well.  This is now layer 4 which is my turn and it is really hard to stop yourself from adding more and more but you have to so the next people have something to add.  I did some doodling on the flowers, leaves and bird.  I painted over the title words with Diamond glaze then highlighted that area and some random around the edge with Broken china Distress ink then stamped with green acrylic paint randomly with a texture stamp (if we were not passing it on – what I would have liked to do was edge the entire painting with Broken china crackle paint and doodled over the butterflies and added some bling to the flowers and butterflies and maybe more work on the bird).  This one has another couple of layers to go (Rosie and Pam).

Inks/Paint:  Distress ink Broken china, Acrylic paint Moss green
Stamp:  Tim Holts Urban tapestry
Other:  Diamon glaze, Pitt pens 125,146 and 156, white  Inkssentials pen

This is the next painting that is being passed around – a little earlier than it should just because we had them ready.  Elaine did the first layer with paper scraps, Pauline added scrunched glued napkins and scraps of gauze.  I added a spray of aqua and red which you see in the first photo (as I forgot to take a photo before I started) then I added more sprays through stencils and mesh then splattered with white acrylic paint.

Sprays:  Dylusions ink Cyan and Postbox red, Brusho Crimson, Cosnic shimmer mist and Lava.  (sprayed water through stencil then lifted the colour out for a ghost effect).
Acrylic paint:  watered down Titanium white sprayed with toothbrush.
Other:  Uni paint marker to splatter, alphabet and number, circle stencils, mesh.

A little band of 5 (Go 4 it Girls) have got together to do a variety of projects and the first one is called Pass the Painting.  The object of this project is for each of us to a first layer of a painting (or art journal) then pass it onto the next person who then does the next layer and so on.  We will each have a final original piece of art.  I think this is going to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait to see all the final art work.

Card:  18/24cm canvas board (gerstaeker) which is already primed with acrylic.
Paint:  acrylic paint: Violet, Orange yellow and Cadmium red hue and left a bit of the white backgound showing through.
Other:  credit card to spread the paint, daubers, and lids for the circles, mesh as a stencil
