Anyhoooo do you
remember a couple of weeks ago I posted a little teaser here on FB with this
picture asking if you could guess what it would become well here is another
snippet see if you can guess now.
No?? OK well I
decided I wanted to make canvas wall hanging I have done a couple before mainly
for a friend but it has been a while since I last did one and I had this idea
in my head pecking away at me I do try to ignore the voices in my head most of
the time but it’s not always possible (they can get very loud and persistent just like the rain lol)
So I listened and
this is what came out as an end product
I see people do a
lot of these and am in awe of them and never feel mine are anywhere near the
standard but I did enjoy doing this one (plus I got messy big thumbs up for that!!!!!!!) so I
started by giving the canvases (there
is little square one in the top corner) a coat of gesso and let dry then
added a bit of texture with homemade texture paste and plaster mesh again left
to dry. I then painted them both in a mix of purple colours that I made using
acrylic paint. The smaller canvas was added to the big one using texture past
then painted over.
To add a little
more texture and interest I very lightly stamped some small flowers in a pale
grey them embossed with clear powder and added some muslin strips to the bottom
corner again I painted this then I frantaged it to DEATH hahaha it was a pain
to try and melt the frontage through the back of the canvas (note to self this is why I don’t
listen to the voices!!)as you have to get really close but try not to
bubble the paint or burn the canvas but I managed somehow.
As you may know I
had already coloured the images and cut them out they are images from Mo Manning is fairy Amanita and the toadstools are from Polka doodles
which I won as challenge prize (thanks Nikky) they have been coloured with polychromo pencils
then I added fluffy stuff on the white bits on the top then I went over these
with antique linen DI to make look a little dirty rather than pure white.
I then went over
the toadstool heads with glossy accents to give a shine (doing this on both sets of images)
Then I glued them in place with 3D tape and a mix of hot glue gun and pinflair.
To finish off I
added a corner that I made from a corner die which has been embossed in silver
powder and frantage and then from the smaller canvas I started to add a spray
of the flowers I had made for the last few cards. The reason I added the
smaller canvas was I wanted some height for the flowers if you know what I mean
I didn’t want them to sit flat and thought that would be the best way (as I am
no expert in these things. To add just a finishing touch I added some frosted
stamens and berries and there you have it.
The only trouble
was after having all that fun making all that mess I then had to clean it all
up (bummer) oh well anyway hope you like it and I will see you soon.
