Hello my crafty friends~
This week has been flying by for me. It has been extremely busy and I have been trying to get things ready for the new 2013-2014 school year for my daughter Gia. For my new followers, I homeschool my daughter and we are embarking on another wonderful year entering the 5th grade. Boy do I remember her being born and 5th grade already! What I enjoy the most about teaching her is the quality time and the bond we have. I wouldn't trade that in for the world!! Ok enough of my rambling on about mushy stuff LOL. Today I have a quick canvas project to share with you that I did on Sunday evening. I was starting to feel a bit better and knew that I had missed getting creative so I sat down at my desk and the first thing that caught my eye were my Faber-Castell Gelatos. So I pulled out a 6x6 canvas block and then started to just pull stuff out and here are the supplies I ended up using.
I started off with a blank canvas and started with my gelatos first. I used various colors of blues/purples and gray to create a background using my fingers and some stencils, specifically circles and chevrons. From that point on, I just got very inky and messy as I pulled out some of my homemade glimmer mists and sprays from Tattered Angels. I pulled out some tickets from Tim Holtz, some die cuts from SEI and a nice manila tag and then started going to town on just creating and making an ENORMOUS mess! LOL .... so after the initial mess of spray, ink and gelatos... and some additions of charms, enamel dots, stickles, mesh, artist spackle, glaze and mod podge..
.. here is my final project.
Well that is my project for today! I really hope you enjoyed it and
thanks so much for stopping by!
Until next time.... enjoy life's blessings~
