Goodbye Time - Computer board alteration

Hello all my friends!  Today I decided to work on a mixed media piece because, frankly, it is just too darn hot to play outside!

I have a good neighbor who donates to me the boards from inside computers he fixes, and I LOVE altering these! They are so fun and messy to do! That's what I did today! 


I call this one "Goodbye Time". I find as I get older, time is just flying by! I still feel a 20 year old, but my old body tells me otherwise! LOL!! (I need to start crossing stuff off my bucket list soon!!)

This is what it looked like when I started!



 I covered the whole board with black gesso, added some bit and pieces and then sprayed, gessoes, sprayed some more, added waxes... and done! 

Here are a couple close-ups....



I love doing these for some strange reason! Messy and fun!


I am entering this into a couple challenges as well today...

International Art & Soul - challenge #86 - Blue as the Main Color - Top 3 Winner!



More Than Words - July challenge : Goodbye and Monochromatic

I do hope you are all staying safe and having a blast creating!

Thanks for taking a peek!

((HUGS))

    This is really cool and different. Quite often you can get stencils that replicate motherboards and circuit boards but you have the real thing! Thanks for joining us at More Than Words - Elle xx
