"Much of my featured work has been on a larger scale, generally canvases and other pieces that are 8 x 10 inches and larger. With the latest RELICS & ARTIFACTS® release, I took a different approach and began experimenting with working on a smaller scale which has made me discover so many new possibilities of creating with the Relics line!"
"The new Egg Shrines are just waiting to be decorated and adorned, especially when combined with the new Papillon and the fabulous Flora pieces. Using a more muted, pastel, and metallic palette with Finnabair's Art Alchemy paints draws out all of the beautiful details within the Relics."
"I was beyond excited to create my first pieces with the new Imperial Eggs – so many possibilities for being creative! These are the perfect addition to the other RELICS & ARTIFACTS® featuring the wood support frames. They are a dream to work with and so easy to build for creating jewelry and other mixed media pieces."
"Perhaps the most exciting part of creating with the Relics line is adding them as a simple embellishment to part of a mini mixed media work where they make even more of an impact. The elegant look and design details not only make a piece unique but so unforgettable!"
If you are interested in learning just how wonderful these pieces can be transformed into marvelous works of art and are in the Noosa area, be sure to sign up for John's latest workshop as part of the Australian Mixed Media Roadshow on July 30th.
