7 Gypsies Avignon paper collection

Embellishments: laces, trims, blings, flowers, butterflies, memorabilia, etc.

Instructions:

First, spread a layer of gesso to the torso´s base.

Then, spread another layer of acrylic paint and cover it with distress ink.

Tear papers of various sizes and shapes from 7 Gypsies Ecriture, Orchestra and Diagram papers and scrunch them to mold.

Adhere them to torso with gel medium.

Now all you need to do is decorate the torso with laces, trims, blings, etc. Finish up by adhering a small square of paper taken from 7 Gypsies "Announce", the one that says "PRIME aux lecteurs pendant 15 jours seulement".

Here it is! A beautiful project.
