Fluid Art - Autumn Leaves. Mixed media artwork in Resin, Acrylic and copper.
I was trying to do a resin pour a few weeks ago and I hated the result and I scraped it and did something else. But thinking back later, I realised that what i'd ended up with was a dark blurry background that would be perfect for putting a flower in front of. That to come later, but I wanted to start with something simpler and so i settled on maple leaves in autumn colors. As I'm still playing with wire forms it seemed like a pretty straight forward, if labour intensive, thing to do, while still being a bit more interesting that another waves pour. I make jewellery as another hobby and so i have soldering equipment and so it was fairly straight forward to make a cool branch to hang the leaves off.
The biggest challenge in this pour was selecting the colours for the leaves. I usually put contrasting colors together for this type of pour but that would look crazy on a leaf. I also wanted them to be red and gold, but gold either sinks or floats or is flat, so it wouldn't give the texture i wanted. after much experimenting i ended up with red, orange for texture and floating gold in between. The hope was the texture would be subtle and the small amount of gold would sparkle across the surface. As you will see I think it worked out pretty well! Properly golden autumn leaves.
