Easter Bird Nest!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope your weekend and Easter are fabulous! Today I have A Easter themed Bird nest I altered up for you all to see.

I started with this round slab of wood

I used gel medium to adhere my resin, I used the texture Bricks and wood from Stamperia, I then used the gel with a pallet knife and smothered it on giving a wood grain effect.

Here I took Spanish Moss and added matte gel medium to it and formed a nest, I sat it on an upside down vase to dry so it will keep shape.

Plain 'ol plastic easter eggs!

I covered in with Gesso and let dry.

I used the NEW Tim Holtz Collage paper (Floral) and covered the eggs! these papers are to die for!

Now that the wood is dry I covered it in Finnabair pain (Steampunk Copper). Dried that and covered it from head to roe in black gesso. not waiting for the black to dry I took a baby wipe and wiped most of the black off. This gives a great grungy Effect, But since I'm rolling with easter I needed to soften it up! White Gesso to the rescue! I dry brushed it, then dry brushed it again!

I also added a layer of dry brush to the eggs!

Now I took Finnabair art stones and applied those in and around the nest after dry I put clear gesso and added Nuance powder in (coral) 

I also added prills in (Lettace us entertain you!) and (Mango)

 I added Flowers from 49andmarket , and added white and brown splashes everywhere!

Hope you all enjoyed this! 

And Now that I'm looking at it I think it needs a Title! 

 Better! LOL Sometimes for me looking at a picture helps me figure things out!
