Canvas - part 2

I am already tinkering with the thing. I didn't like how it looks like yellow lasers are coming out of the yellow flower. So I added some color to break it up. I also added some more flowers at the bottom.

Altered Canvas

So awhile back I bought this canvas to put up in my living room. It matches my couch. Last spring( not this spring, but the one before that) we got new carpet. Now I think we have to much brown in that room. So a few months ago I got some paint and painted. The focal wall was done in a grey, and the wall opposite that I painted a softer grey. One day I was looking at the canvas and thought I can do something I like better. I was nervous to work on the canvas, but I got over it.

So i first I put down a layer of gesso.

Then little by little I added layers of paint, spray inks, paper and marker. So far I am liking it better, but might add to it.

A few close-ups :)

BEAUTIFUL DAY

I just had to make a page today. It is so nice outside. I just had to share.

Connie :)

So, right after I finished posting, hubby came home with a seafood sensation sandwhich from Subway. As we were eating, I was looking at the Subway tissue paper they wrap your sandwhich in. I was especially liking the looks of the leaf & thinking about the page I just did & how the leaf might fit in. So after I finished eating I grabbed the tissue and cut out one of the leaves. I took it downstairs, put some collage pauge (love that stuff) on it and added it to the page. I am loving the results, it is making me happy.

I am thinking I need to save the "eat fresh" and use it sometime too :)

So go enjoy your day,
Connie

My hollyhocks are blooming like crazy right now. I love all the color!!!

I even decided to make a hollyhock doll.

Have a great day :)

Inky, painty fun :)

I wanted to play with my paints and spray inks today. I grabbed a piece of white card stock and kraft card stock and went to it. I do like doing it on white paper better, I think the color "POP'S" better, but it was kind of one of those experiment type things. I think i'm going to cut the papers in different sizes and use them in my art journal pages.

Chicken Salad

This chicken salad recipe I wanted to share. It comes from my mother in law and is so yummy. The combo of miracle whip & cool whip sound weird, but works and is yummo!!!

Good on a croissant or as a salad.
