Eat It!

Art is not only about pretty and gentle.
It's a powerful way to express everything that bothers us, that makes us angry.
It's a perfect way to send a message to the world...

This piece is an expression of my anger and disagreement.

My protest against the image of a woman that we are being fed with every day.

Against women being treated like an object that can be:

Eaten. Chewed. Swallowed.



  

To create this piece I used an old spoon that I bought at a flea market, a Barbie doll head and a light bulb base.

All the metal parts were covered with gesso and then painted with Vintaj Patina paints and alcohol inks applied with a sponge.

The handle of the spoon was sprayed with a pink Glimmer Mist.

I rubbed some gel medium in the doll's hair and arranged the "hairstyle". When it dried, I painted it with using acrylic paints and a blue Glimmer Mist applied with a paintbrush.

I glued the head to the spoon with Glossy Accents and also used this product to create the transparent drop on the handle.

This post is my goodbye with Mixed Media Place blog...

I'm grateful for the possibility to show my artworks here and for the opportunity to cooperate with my wonderful creative friends from the Design Team.

Thank you to all of you - our readers - for all your kind words and comments about my creations!
