Happy Birthday!


Just a fun happy little piece of art!

A chocolate layer cake that looks good enough to lick, but don't! Once it's the paint is dry enough you can swipe your fingers across it though. Mmmmm....

Layer 1 - Painted acrylic with a brush
Layer 2 - Stamped circles, swirls, & dots with bottle lid, pipe, fork tines, photo holder
Layer 3 - Collaged shapes made from Gelli plate designed papers
Layer 4 - Stamped spots with bubble wrap
Layer 5 - Smeared oil paint with a palette knife

I think I met my weekly-ish art challenge of "Layers Upon Layers" no matter how you slice it!

**Next week's is "Something to Wear."  What shall I do? Any ideas? I'm  blank.

    1. Layers Upon Layers! Ha! I thought I might just paint a couple of my hens... they're layers!
      Naaa... My birthday is in March. The cake just looked happier with candles!

  2. I love this! And, what a clever use of the word "layer." I think I like the tablecloth best.

    1. Well, I'm glad you like that table cloth! I worked with collage papers until I thought I got it just right... and it wasn't. So, bubble wrap, pink paint, smoosh, peel off... Yeah!

  3. Really pretty, and I love the "layer" connection and the spots stamped with bubble wrap. It reminds me of a little quilted birthday cake mat I made for my granddaughter.
    "Something to wear" - how about the Queen's crown? ;)
