Genesis Florals
Wrought Iron & Ceramic Tile Hooks Set
Via Von © 2005

These surface pieces were found for $1.00 each on clearance at Michaels.  They had Wine Labels stamped into the ceramic stone tile which has rough edges and grabbed my fancy.  I gesso'd over the wine labels, let dry overnight, based with a Genesis mix of Titanium White + Burnt Umber and then antiqued with a rub of Burnt Umber.  I then went to work with my Genesis mixes to create my own colour palette for the flowers.   I heat set all of the tiles in the oven. I then put the drop-shadow in under the flowers which was done with Burnt Umber and Genesis Glazing Gel and then a final heat-set with my Genesis drying gun.

The patterns are adapted from three different books as noted under each of the individual close-ups below.  The more I do with Genesis, the more I love that paint!
