As you probably know by now I am on the Tando design team and we are often given different and quite challenging Tando kits to work with. Over on the blog and in FaceBook we also like to have themes. This year on Tuesday's we have been showcasing our different ideas using the Hexagon grab bags. Today is my turn.
This is the finished piece under natural light .
Having chosen to work on a box canvas 20" x 8" it quickly became apparent that it was not going to be easy to take photographs of this on my work table. Added to which this is to be my first Video demonstration and the canvas certainly would not all fit into view. The canvas was prepared with structure paste pressed through a Hexagon stencil, not using the whole stencil just bits of it here and there. When the paste was ready various metallic Glimmer Mists were sprayed over and allowed to run down the canvas. A day or so later when the canvas was fully dry it was time for my first attempt at a video demonstration; Scary but exciting.
I did it in 2 parts
The canvas was finished by adding the Hexagons, not necessarily in the ways suggested in the video but in a pleasing manner.
This is the finished piece under electric light.
Doing this was so much fun and a great opportunity to try lots of new ideas, I hope you enjoy watching the videos as much as I enjoyed making them.
I'd also like to share this with,

I saw your mention of uploads and gathered from what you said they take an age same as they do for me. I shall go take a peek , I always find hexagons very pleasing shapes to work with.
