Good morning! I am excited to share today's project with you! A magical mixed media Pegasus.
My daughter, Echo, just had to have this Pegasus. So, we bought it. She immediately started working on it. She got as far as coloring eyes on it and part of the tail. Then it sat in my craft room for six months. I finally asked her if I could decorate it for her. She was super excited about that.
I started by putting a few coats of gesso on it. Echo had colored on the Pegasus with Sharpies. The color just kept soaking through the gesso. I decided that I wasn't going to fight that after about 4 coats of gesso. Thankfully, the dark colors did lighten quite a bit.
Once the gesso was dry, I went crazy adding flowers. You know I love me some Reneabouquet flowers!
Next, I added the Beautiful Board Heart Bits, Skeleton Leaf Bits, and the Small Butterfly Flourish. Then it was time to add a little texture to the wings and hooves. I first put down a layer of Mod Podge and then sprinkled it with Teal Glass Microbeads. After the first layer of microbeads was dry, I added another layer.
More drying time! This is the worst part. I am so impatient!
Once the Mod Podge and microbeads were set, I gave the entire Pegasus one more coat of gesso. After that was dry, I added the butterflies and the Beautiful Beads Unicorn Candy Iridescent Pearls.
