Hi,
Today I'm posting a mixed media canvas I did for my friend Chris.
Iwanted to do this as she suffers from M.E. and sometimes struggles with day to day things due to her illness. However she always keeps a brave face and is almost always smiley and happy. She is a great friend to me and I did this so she could hang it in her craft room. Hopefully it will cheer her up on the more gloomy days.
I am entering it into a challenge on Limor Webbers Blog which has to include a recycled house hold item. I have used the ribbon end fluffy fused end of the netting that comes on fruit and used it as the fluffy looking centre of the large flower ( I died it and the ribbon with alcohol Inks). Also I used the middle of a toilet roll to die cut the letters.
I used gesso, acrylics, rub ons stamps, multimedium, inks, alcohol inks and papers etc.
I would have tried to get some unity stamps as they look great but it was too late by the time I saw the challenge.
Go to limors great blog she is very talented and has loads of you tube videos you can check out. The link is http://chicscrapbookdesigns.blogspot.ca/2012/09/august-mixed-media-contest-winner-and.html
