Mixed media Raven Nest by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello Everyone ! 

I finally feel like Spring is in the air! Which brings us to my next blog post!

A spooky little nest of a Raven family...For this Mixed media piece I used a round wood base and two wood spools along with a premade nest and some moss. All of which I got from a local craft store. Glue the parts all together with hot glue and then I painted with white gesso. I then glued on the nest and started adding moss.

I stamped the Raven looking up and Raven specimen stamps with black ink and fussy cut them to add to the nest. Adding more moss to give support to the birds. Had to add the bones from meals past.

I then took my Shimmering H2O's paints and put color on the base. I added a dimensional eye to mama raven and glitter gel pen to the babies.

To finish up I added the spider and a bone on the base and decided it was done!

I hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration!! 

See you soon with more fun art !!
