When
I saw this little guy in the store I knew I wanted to alter it! But I
thought to myself 'altered pig?' Yep! Had to do it! Who says there
are rules when creating? Graphic 45’s washi tape is perfect for altering
awkward shapes surfaces! I just added a coat of clear gesso on top
afterwards to seal and prime it for my inks. I did some metal foil
techniques to give it a more industrial look. So fun. Hope you all like
it! Hugs.

I came straight from G45 blog to see this again. Miranda, your altered pig is sensational! Oh my goodness, totally amazing & so the style of project I would be chuffed to bits if I could get even close. You must be so happy with your results! How you achieved the colours on the metal is so clever. I struggle with alcohol inks but don't know why. Anyway, I am metallic green with envy. Tfs. C :)

ReplyDeletei too came straight over from the graphic 45 site to pick on you about this pig!!!! First of all HE IS ADORABLE i just want to hug him he's so cute, You really surprised me with this piece. I had no idea you had that much country in you. The door knocker on his rear is just hilarious. Thanks for surprising me, big hugs, deb
ReplyDeleteHi Miranda, wow, love the look of this little piggy. Very inspiring. Enough so, that I just HAD to ask, what products did you use to colour his wings? I see you mentioned alcohol inks, could you tell what colours I should purchase to achieve this effect I just LOVE it. Thanks for sharing!

DeleteIncredible piece of art!! My brother collects flying pigs and I would love to make this for him for Christmas! I love how the wings are so detailed. Do you know the manufacturer of your's? Do you mind me asking where you found him?
