The base
color is Illamasqua Scarab, a beautiful brown-toned wine red. Did you know that
Scarabaeus sacer, is
a scarab beetle worshiped by Ancient Egyptians, it’s a dung beetle actually. Now
we rarely see the Scarab, that is efficient agriculture for you :(…
I remember when I was a kid growing
up in the countryside, at dusk they flew, and could hit you pretty hard, if you
were on a fast bike. Mine was fast because I was slightly afraid of ghosts and
some other creatures that in my imagination lived different places on my route
back home from my play mate, I remember signing really loud made them keep
their distance ;)
I painted flowers with metallic
arylic colors, and used the drag-marble technique for both the leaves and
petals, and the top coat is imn Nothern Lights in Gold, it’s looks a bit weird
on the photos.
Grundfarven
er Illamasqua Scarab, en smuk bruntonet, vinrød. Vidste du er Scarabaeus sacer, er en bille også kaldet skarnbasse, som de gamle
ægyptere tilbad. Vi ser dem sjældent i dag, de har som så meget andet fået
dårligere betingelser på grund af effektivt landbrug :(
I
min barndom boede jeg også på landet, og jeg husker hvordan skarnbasserne fløj
i mørkningen, og hvis man havde for stor fart på cyklen, kunne de ramme ret
hårdt, hvis man cyklede ind i en. Og jeg cyklede hurtigt, for jeg var lidt
bange for spøgelser og trolde og hvad der i hvert fald i min fantasi nu ellers
fandtes på turen hjem fra min legekammerat. Jeg husker at hvis jeg sang meget
højt, så kunne jeg holde disse spøgelserne på afstand ;)
Jeg malede blomsterne med akrylfarve og brugte
drag-marble teknikken til både blade og blomster. Toplakken er imn Nothern Lights in Gold,
det ser lidt underligt ud på billederne…
Hvor ser det fint ud Maria :-)
SvarSletBundfarven er virkelig lækker!
Drag-marble teknik?! Vil du forklare hvad det går ud på.
Tusind tak, Anne Mette!
SletHmm, den helt korte version er våd lak, en dråbe af en anden farve, og så trækker du mønstre med f.eks. en pensel eller spidsen af en "orange stick". Her lagde jeg først lakken og derefter benyttede jeg teknikken til bladene og derefter kronbladene...
Gav det mening...?

Thank you so much, Lillibit - and to you too!
SletSo, you could have become a singer, after all those singing loud! But, who was more afraid of who: you were afraid of ghosts and other strange creatures or they were afraid of you when you started singing? :-)
SvarSletIllamasqua Scarab is the kind of red that I could wear, I like dark red! :-)
Beautiful flowers and the combination of colours!
LOL - definitely, they were afraid when I sang - whether it was my singing or the loud sound - personally I prefer to think the latter... ;)
SletThank you so much, Tanja!
Lovely mani :)
SvarSletThank you so much, BeautyShades!
SletI have also learned that singing really loud keeps unwanted creatures away from you!
