* Gecko Galz: The Age of Aquarius

Hello!

A new month brings a new challenge at Gecko Galz.

This month the theme is The Age of Aquarius and I was inspired by the song by 5th Dimension and the hippie way of life in the late 60s and 70s.

The Age of Aquarius is all about harmony, understanding, sympathy, trust, mystic crystals and revelations. We are currently in the Age of Pisces and, according to Song Facts, the next Age of Aquarius will be in 2448, so I very much doubt any of us will be around to witness it! 

I've had this papier mâché, 3D word sitting on my shelf in my craft room for as long as I can remember, so I thought this was the perfect time to use it!

I gave it a coating of That's Crafty Surface Paint in Bronze and printed out both sheets from the Age of Aquarius collage set. I set to, fussy cutting the images that I liked the most, and saved some of the background pieces as fillers. I inked the edges of the cut images and used Matt Medium gel to stick them onto the cardboard. I tried not to have any straight edges and, when I was happy with the arrangement, I applied Matt Medium over the top of the images to offer some protection and to make sure all the edges were glued down securely. I added Stickles Diamond Glitter to the images.

Here are some close ups:
