Now is the time for some good luck!
This is the The Talisman mini series. The blue-green swirls have a touch of metallic along with optimistic yellow. The tiny details made me think of untangling a cosmic knot or necklace. That’s where the idea came to call this mini series The Talismans.
I used a technique that I love but haven’t used in several years. It’s a process I call “pulling strings.”
It involves prepping the boards for painting with gesso and then dipping thread in gesso. I then let it fall or wrap it onto the surface. It’s a little like trippy 60’s string art and wonderfully messy!
After it all dries…I pull the thread off. It makes a slightly incised surface with very thin lines. It creates a certain amount of randomness…that makes things interesting.
There is short video up on Youtube to give you a better idea click to watch
