Quick Canvas Project

Hi everyone , Eunice here from The Little Things ! I hope your summer is starting off with lots of good things ! I was spending some time in my studio the other day & wanted to create a canvas collage to hang in a vacant spot !! A canvas on the smaller size 7 by 14 ! I painted the background and then added some houses using Glitz Papers , love there designs !! So I created a little village ( three homes ...size !! ) using mod podge to adhere to the canvas, I added smaller paper pieces for the doors & windows ect. and for some added detail I used the Edges Mini's , smaller size adorable paper edges , I love love these ! I have found so many uses for these adorable edges ! I sprayed mine with the Maya Road mists , it is a fabulous way to color something delicate like the Edges Mini's , quick , and also has a little glimmer in it for great detail ! To add more detail on the back ground I used Punchinella ( you HAVE to have that for wonderful collage work ) comes in various sizes and creates a wonderful detail for your art work ! I also added some "words" that I printed out , a stencil was used for the "sun" and chipboard letters for the HOME at the bottom ! Quick and super easy to create , check out the vast supplies for creating collage art on Altered Pages ! Have a wonderful and creative day !!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
