Day 15 - 30 in 30 Days - Dragonfly Fly

Dragonfly Fly
6"X9" Mixed Media on Arches paper   I like this better now. It is more purple than  the photo shows. Shades of purples, blues and greens. Here's what I did. I have some paper towels that I have saved from my silk dying projects. They have some beautiful mingled colors.

  I used a plastic doily for the wing design. I sprayed acrylic on  the back (it's flat) and used it like a stamp.  

I used Collage Podge to adhere the torn pieces of paper towel  and a permanent marker for the wing outlines.   

  Little touches of Golden brand interference  iridescent paint on the wings and body. I wish you could see the soft shimmer.  

  I stenciled "FLY" and added highlights and shadows with oil pastels. Doodles around the edges. All done.
