Description
This is based on a tiny printout of a picture from a christmas card that my boss found online somewhere. i have no idea who did the original christmas card, so i don't know who to credit as inspiration. therefore, this art is not entirely my own, as it was referenced. If i ever see the christmas card online, i'll link and credit it.

Disclaimers aside, this was a lot of fun to do. it's on a 3' by 4' piece of masonite, sanded and primed. I applied a material similar to venetian plaster to the board, aged and crackled it, then painted the image on with colorant and glaze. I put pearl mica powders on the star, though you can't tell from the picture, then waxed the whole thing. It has a wonderful polished texture to it, and the wax brought out all the cracks nicely.

I plan to do several more, smaller pieces of my own art in this manner. it has helped a little in chipping away at my art block.

there are details of the cracked texture in my scraps.
