The heading says it all!
However there is something else.
I am hosting our Wild Card Week
over at Just Us Girls
and looking for Anything But a Card
With five Saturday's in the month we have our
Wild Card where the Host has free range to choose!
There are so many ways you can use your creativity
as you can see below.
I thought I would share a little 4x4 Mixed Media Canvas
in a fairly simple way.
The canvas has gesso added which makes everything
you add after that 'stick'.
I textured/coloured up my canvas and
some paddle pop stick for the fence
then started adding bits and bobs.
These include bits of bark from the yard,
dried flowers and seeds from a bouquet I was given,
The centre of the blue flower (from my stash)
is actually the centre from the seeds.
Added some cheese cloth,
a few leaf dies and art stones.
So you see Mixed Media can be
fairly easy by adding things you may have
around the house. It's fun just to experiment.
My kind of relaxation while others
love to dabble in colouring images.
Pop over and see how everyone
chose to play this week.
We also say good bye to our lovely Guest Chrissie
who inspired us greatly with her talents.
Thank You for joining us this month.
Thanks for dropping in today
Beautiful mixed media canvas. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful. I love the colors and the design. Such a sweet little bit of creativity to hang on the wall or place on a mantle. It's absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Ina and I just love your color palette! Such a fun challenge. I may have taken the easy route but enjoyed it just the same. Take care!
