Harvest Kokopelli

 Hello Monday my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Halloween/Spooky Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: HOME DECOR

HARVEST KOKOPELLI 

Years ago, my husband cut out a lot of Kokopelli figures from scrap wood we had, in several sizes. Over the years, I have transformed several of them into different themes, and this time I chose a harvest or fall theme. I think this Kokopelli may find its way onto my Thanksgiving table in honor of our First Nations.

 I began my project by blending Sage and Turquoise paints over as much of the surface as possible.

Then, I used Simon's Fanfare stencil to add a design to my wood piece. I used Lapis on the upper section and applied it sparingly with a cosmetic sponge. 

I turned the stencil upside down and applied Sedona. 

I added some Tim Holtz Foundry waxes to the flute, hair and lower portion of the body.

Then, I went over the lower wax area with the stencil and Sedona paint again.

I used a Turquoise paint pen to add some curved lines into the design, and added a trio of feathers through a coyote charm. I decided the feathers needed a bit more, so flicked on some gold gouache and paint.

 

I like the mix of bold design and large feathers, and the charm from my stash adds the perfect touch, I think. I hope you have enjoyed my project and if you are interested in my other Kokopellis, the links are here: Steampunk Kokopelli, Autumn Kokopelli, Short Circuit, and Blue Man Kokopelli.
