Hanging canvas

Hi all,

Thanks for joining me , on this Sunday morning...

You know when I sit and write these little blog posts , I never know if anyone is going to read them,,,well apart from my Mum....( thanks Mum )

And sometimes it is a bit worrying when nobody comments , and I think , oh dear , that blog post didn't go down well, but then I go to a workshop, or demonstration and I get such lovely feedback..

The other day I had a lovely email from a lady who regularly reads the blog but don't know how to leave a comment, so I now have faith that I am not on my own in blog land.

Today we are going to do something a bit different, you know how I love to try different things, you see I love clean and simple stamping techniques, wreath and pattern building, but also lots of distress ink blending and mixed media...the other day I was told that I am a bit of an ' all rounder'

 

I have to say as I get older I am definitely getting more ' rounded' !!!! lol...

I have been playing with canvas sheets and Dyna paints...

This is a wall hanging that I made

I started with a sheet of the canvas paper....and covered it with black gesso

Then made a pattern with low tack masking tape

Using three colours of paint , I covered the whole area using a small pallet knife, it was like spreading butter and jam...( not to be eaten though)

Once dry , I removed the tape...

Meanwhile I covered a small MDF butterfly ( from the MDF Man ) with paint, no need to pre gesso.

Then added some script stamping...this stamp is from the journaling set .

I decided to have my design portrait rather than landscape..., and attached the butterfly

Some splats of gold from a rather fab big gold marker , a couple of holes and some bakers twine,

Plus a lovely little embellishment and my canvas was complete.

This is a great way to make a unique piece of art...and I must urge you to show off your lovely creations...

So many of us make things and then just put them away somewhere , so one of my missions this year is to get us all to display our makes...hang them on the wall, put them on the sideboard...and generally admire and enjoy them...

And best of all, enjoy the lovely comments that we get...

I love to heat about positive feedback the you all get from your makes...

One of the workshop ladies recently sent a card that we had made to het friend for her Birthday...the ladie loved it that much that she has framed it...

How wonderful is that...

Just brilliant...

Enjoy the praise and the love

Hugs

Jo. xxx
