Meet Princess Chicklet

Once again, yes I still know it's Christmas, but as someone who creates you always have to work one season ahead.  If you walk into a craft store they always have the next season out and this is why.  I started this project with a vintage theme in mind.  I ran into a dilemma halfway thru as my mind spun with probably 15 different ways to sculpt this piece. I was seeing chick, lambs, spring, oh then I saw Americana with a flag and then winter.   If you,re a member of the OldeMoonlane Primitives group page than you know I ask them what they thought and I believe that made the decision harder for me as they all saw different things as well.  I will probably make several versions of this piece with different seasons if I have time to squeeze them in.

I just couldn't get this little chick vision I was having out of  my mind, so eventually the Chicks won out !

​If you look closely you will see her dress is all sparkly.  I applied Glass glitter (It's real glass)  all over her dress using DecoArt Decou- Paige to apply!  Do you like her tiney little real eye lashes??

I found this pretty vintage bottle brush tree at target in the bins at the front of the store and now I wish I would have bought them all.  I love the gold tip accents, so I tried to follow thru with that on the tips of the flowers. Gold Metallic from DecoArt.   I used all American Acrylic DecoArt paints for this project, as I do with all of my projects.  I love the consistency and creaminess of the paints.  I often have those say they buy what's cheap well in paints you get what you pay for.  I don't want to have to add a ton of coats because the cheap paints are so watered down.  If you haven't tried the American paints give them a try you will definitely notice the difference.

It's a little hard to see from the pics but to see her dress in person I used the dark shades of pink and gradually phased them out going down the dress to kind of match the tree blending.  You can really see it on the back view.

Every Princess/Angel bunny needs a magic chick wand.  This little fella is just hatching.

I also tried a new sealer on this project.  I used the DecoArt Americana gloss spray sealer and I believe I like it better than the Poly Acrylic I was using.  I think this may be my  new sealer.  Love love!!  I found I didn't need to apply as many coats and it was quick drying.
