I want to show you what I made for someone really special to me, who I've never met...I only saw photos of him.
When I heard from his uncle it's his Birthday, I wanted to send him a present.
First I was thinking to send one of my textured paintings, I made last year...
but then I wanted to make him something really special, what I have never made before: a touch and feel painting, because he is blind and autistic.
First I put some acrylic paint and some natural jasmine oil with the paint on the canvas.
This oil is made for use with acrylic or oil paints. It will give a nice scent to the painting, as I want to paint some flowers on the canvas.
I blended the three colors and added some more red and two tone blue paint.
I'm still not sure what else I want to paint (except the flowers), I'm just following my heart...
I've used a 3D paint to make little white flowers.
I painted some fluffy clouds too...
...but wasn't as fluffy when I touched them, so I glued some cotton wool on it the next day after the paint has dried.
I cut out tiny little wings from organza fabric and singed them for making some butterflies.
Look how small they are.
Then I hand sewn them to the canvas with glass beads.
While I was making this painting, I couldn't stop thinking:...will he like it?...
Tiny butterflies are fluttering around the little flowers.
I wanted to symbolise the stars, so I hot glued some Swarovski crystals on the sky.
I have to be careful not to burn the canvas while I am applying each crystal...
I wasn't happy with the texture of the painted flowers, so I decided to cut out some petals from silk and...
...I've sewn them with glass beads to the canvas.
I am happy with the flowers now.
The finished painting...
... I wish I could be there to see his face when he will touch and feel the painting.
I had to make a box for it, to make sure will not be damaged during shipping.
I made this painting with so much love and I am hoping he will like it...
