Royal Queensland Show 2015

This is my Circus project which I entered into the Fine Arts Section of the Royal Queensland Show ..or the Ekka as we call it in  Queensland.

I was thrilled to be awarded first prize as well as Best Exhibit in the Scrapbooking section.

I started with a Dusty Attic Photo Carousel which I painted.

I have used Graphic 45  Le Cirque for the project

  I have layered the rotating panels with Graphic 45 patterned papers. I cut and

3d -ed the clowns, acrobats and animals etc with each panel showing a different aspect of the circus.

I embossed black card for the top and bottom edges and added stars rhinestones and tiny 3d clowns and acrobats

The laser cut panels are fixed so I cut and layered a carousel horse for each of these

        Views of the other rotating panels.  

More photos of my circus project tomorrow.

 

I would like to add my project to the following challenge :
