Mixed Media Canvas - Part One: Stages,Progress and Stuff!

hello, and YES, ive been doing more mixed media, i cant get enough of it!

here are some photos of the different stages and the progress of  the canvas, and ill mainly let the images speak for themselves, but ill tell u bits here and there. this post is VERY photo heavy, so be warned...

i added some ripped lines of paper to a white square canvas, the sprayed a bit of red and green, then added my mixed media elements...
i then painted the elements with some gesso, meaning that the sprays and paints would 'stick' to the plastic and metal pieces better!
...then, more spray/paints!
 then, i added a bit more gesso to certain elements of the canvas...
a bit of  watercolour drippy-ness...
 i then used some gesso and lilac emulsion paint to make some circles using a cup to print.
 then, more spraying...
these are all the progress shots i took of the canvas as i was painting/spraying it, and the next post will be part two, showing the finished canvas with all the added buttons, pearls, beads, metal elements etc!
