I'm participating in the Light It Up Blue Blog Hop today!
We were asked to make something blue- it didn't need to be ASD related, but I had this idea in my head & was all in!
I used a canvas & painted it blue- slightly dry brushing. I inked around the edges & stamped text randomly & smudged it a bit.
I wanted a light bulb to symbolize 'lighting it up', so I free-handed a light bulb on vellum & cut it out to use it as a template. I painted the bulb with pearl paint & set it aside to dry.
I outlined the bulb in the new white mini cording.
The base of the bulb has threads made from silver string.
The puzzle piece & the blue color are the 2 main symbols for ASD, so I knew I wanted to incorporate the puzzle piece somehow too. I painted the puzzle piece with white paint, and dimensional glaze is on top creating the shine. Some dimensional adhesive pops it up on the canvas.
So now it's time to hop along & leave some comments for a chance to win this:
