Oh my goodness. Your piece is gorgeous! And you tore the canvas off a frame did ya? I might have to do that with a few I have that are terrible. Beautiful work!

You create such intriguing works, always such depth to them. And you do great titles just in case anyone wants to take it too seriously.

I’m afraid I’ve been away for awhile, I hope to get back to the challenge. You don’t know how appropriate CHANGE has turned out to be for this month, OMG! This week learned my hubby will need a heart transplant in the not distant enough future. Still reeling.

NIce piece Jen!
Do you add anything to the plaster before appying it to the burlap. Also, what do you use to coat the whole piece when your done plastering and painting?

thanks

I especially love that the “Frog Prince” is going to the “Flying Pig” — great word play, too!

How did you make the frog skeleton? Really cool work.

HI Jen,

VERY cool piece!!! Don’t you just love getting plastered?!?! I frequently use a plaster-over-burlap technique (which is then cracked and sanded etc etc) and I LOVE it!! The reason burlap holds the plaster so well is because of the fibers of the burlap grab it. Plaster isn’t really adhesive in and of itself. If you want to try finer weaves of fabric, I HIGHLY recommend adding 1 tsp-1T. of wood glue to 1 cup of dry plaster. Add water and mix as usual. Maybe you already know all this but I just thought I’d mention it from one plasterer to another.

ENJOY!!! Awesome work!!
