One of my most favorite clients wanted me to design and paint polka dots and fairies on four 24"by24" matboads (reinforced on the back with matboard strips) for a spec condo, a little girl's room, in Chicago. The big polka dots were white or salmon pink with accompanying naughty fairies hanging from the edges or charging out into white or pink space....with a few crowned birds as well. And, lots of glitter and gold detail.
I had to work fast,so I designed first on tissue.
Then I cut out 8 ply mat board, rounded the edges, painted the polka dots and and the fairies. Then came the "frosting" edges, the glitter and the gold. Warning: I am finding glitter all over the studio, my sock drawer and behind my ears. Haven't seen this much sparkle since I worked on kindergarten projects.
