The Take a Word challenge this week is Stone Angels and this piece is based on a photo of a stone angel that Captain Slow took in Salisbury Cathedral a year or so ago. I've been missing from the challenges for a week or so as I worked on various technique experiments. I've used some of those techniques below. I'm also working on some assemblage art which is great fun.

| Translucent lady |
The substrate is 5" x 7" canvas board and has some vintage paper collaged to commence. Then came some stamping onto tissue paper using Archival ink in French Ultramarine and stamping direct to canvas with London Fog. There are so many layers of paint, wash and glaze that I can't list them all the paints are Quinacridone Crimson, Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold and Iridescent Bronze (Fine) all by Golden.
I also stamped with the Crimson and Bronze paints.
The angel was printed from my computer onto white tissue paper (took a while to figure this out) and then made translucent before attaching to the canvas. Next came many more layers of paint.

The cross was made with polymer clay and when hardened I painted it with a faux ivory technique before attaching to the substrate. Now that I have created the mold, I will be making lots more crosses for future pieces.
