It turns out I've been sufficiently obsessed with Ms. Nicks to make two more attempts to capture her vibe in my art. I believe I'm done with her for now, though. As much as I love her, there are too many great pop culture icons right now to dwell in the past.
A few months back, I took a collage class at 3rd Ward and learned an awesome new photo transfer technique using spray fixative! Way less messy than using gels or other methods. So here's a little mixed media piece with our dear Stevie (photo transfer), collage, and watercolor.
And do you remember my first Stevie Nicks embroidery piece (actually, my first embroidery, period)? Here's the follow up. I'm not as crazy about it as I was about the first one. I couldn't capture her face. But I still think it's hilarious. They are both from the same photo shoot, with that same damn bird which just cracks me up. Nothing like carrying a bird all the time to channel your inner "ethereal gypsy rock goddess".
Au revoir, Stevie. Xoxo.
