The Lady of the Forest - Finnabair Creative Team

Even though my work may seem feminine, it actually embodies the male affinity with the forest and the wilderness, for in the past even men venerated the Lady of the Forest. She looked after the wildlife and was often seen accompanied by a deer. This lady was a perfect addition to a wonderful clock frame designed by Finnabair. 


I used Texture Pastes in a threefold way. Firstly, I mixed White Sand Texture Paste and Black Gesso which resulted in a rough substance that made the background look a bit distressed.


Secondly, in order to obtain mock rust, I used Copper Crackle Texture Paste and Mica Powders that in turn gave the work an aging effect. Thirdly, I prepared a mixture consisting of Clear Crackle Texture Paste, a bit of water, and a pinch of Mica Powders. I applied the mixture onto the central element of my work thus granting it with a translucent effect reminding me of broken china. 


You can achive different surface effects depending on the substances proportions in the mixture, so don’t shy away from using your own ideas here.

Chociaż moja praca wydaje się na pierwszy rzut oka kobieca, opiewa męski związek z puszczą i dzikimi ostępami, gdyż nawet mężczyźni zwykli czcić w przeszłości panią lasu. Opiekowała się ona przyrodą i często przedstawiana była z towarzyszącym jej jeleniem. Moja pani lasu zamiast w dziczy zamieszkała w cudownej zegarowej ramce zaprojektowanej przez Finn.
