Wild Horses
is inspired by stormy skies and wild weather
and the unbridled rawness of horses running free.
The technique here is wrinkle free distress and I have used black soot and dusty concord
and blended over with mustard seed and wild honey.
This is one of my all time favourite ways to ink a background.
The horses are masked, die cut and the edge sponged with black soot.
I have kept the embellishments simple because I really wanted the drama of the wildness
of the horses and the weather
to show through
~ so a simple flourish and rhinestones were enough.
Enjoy!

Hi Dot, tis me again. Wowsers this is a beauty! Stunning background, fabulously inky and as for the horses a fantastic focal point of your artwork. XX
A very striking piece Dot. Would love to know what make that stamp is, as a 'horsey family' can never find decent ones.

This is just gorgeous Dot. The colours look amazing and those flourishes add to the wild and windy effect beautifully.
Gorgeous image too and so striking against the background.
