breathe--a textured mixed media canvas

New supplies are always inspiring--this month I had the pleasure of trying out some yummy Royal Langnickel acrylic paints.

So sorry I didn't take process photos--basically this 6x6 canvas first got a layer of Vintage Text papers, adhered with gel medium.
Lots of layers of paints, a stamping of the word "breathe," (it was one of those days, know what I mean?), and some scratching into the barely damp paints . . .



(If you've never tried gel medium, Altered Pages has a great little sampler size of glazes and the gels--the perfect way to try these products out without committing to a big buy!)

Thank you for stopping by, and a Happy Thursday, to you!

  5. Beautiful colours on this inspirational canvas.
    Actually, this is a word that there are times during a day when I will stop and say "breathe".

  6. Yes, I totally understand the "it's one of those days." I sent you a link via email describing our day today. Josh and David are both okay.

 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.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
