Bruno is an incredibly talented artist and sculptor in Marysville, Victoria. We saw his work years ago and all our family loved it so much that we bought a statue that was a replica of a huge one in the main street of Marysville. A few years later, fires swept through the area killing many people and destroying much of Bruno's work, including the original statue. We are so glad that our little statue of the old bushwalker and his grandson continues to sit in our garden, forever watching the country around it.
To make the background I scraped on a little Dusty Attic Navajo White paint then added some splashes of Tinby Designs Colour Crush and some stamping.
Here are a few closies:
The Dusty Attic products I used are:
Whimsy Frames #6 DA1562
Poppies DA1289

in Forrest, Navajo White
and Soot.
Dusty in Colour Clear
Gloss Varnish DA 0901
Happy scrappin'!
