I also spent a lot of time picking things up from the floor, as I evidently had a drop-me day yesterday, so hope my fingers are more cooperative today.
This is another of the re-purposed canvases I made last week. I used structure paste painted with two metallic colours, and pressed some punchinella into it to give more structure, leaving a piece in the paint. I also scattered in some odd beads and bits of broken earrings while it was all wet. I added a few prima flowers and a dragonfly charm to finish it off. The colours look different in the first pic because the electric light was on!
I have another 2 canvases on the go, which I will show you soon.
Have a nice Sunday you all, take care, and thanks for visiting!
It almost looks bubbly. :) Love the texture and color choice. Gorgeous!

Oh my gosh, I have not found the courage to do ANYTHING on canvas yet, as I just learn, practice, and play in my own little art/junque journals, on composition notepaper or cereal box cardboard. Love how beautiful your canvas came out though, with all the texture and details you have here! It looks like it was fun, and I'd definitely like to try it sometime!... Hope you're enjoying your weekend! ~tina
ReplyDeleteBeaUtiful! I love all the texture you've used and the way the composition extends off the page is fabulous! Oh, and those are some of my favorite colors too- all in all, a GREAT piece!
ReplyDeleteStay warm- it's cool here for this time of year too!

ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what a creative and colorful canvas! I love the thick texture and leaving the punchinella in was a cool idea. I'm surprised the jewelry was held in place by the paste - I love the dimension it all adds.
