Canvas Wall Hanging


This is a 6x6 canvas in a very dark moss green with copper, using acrylic paints with gel medium, then the heat gun to give it some texture. The girl is one of my favorite Paper Whimsy girls which I framed with a paper mache type frame, and adding some old doily underneath.

It hangs with an old piece of chain which is screwed into the sides, and I used the metal corners to finish it off.

Thanks for dropping by, have a great weekend and keep the kids safe when they go trick or treating tomorrow :)

Meet me in the garden , and it's HOT

Happy Monday friends :) I just love Mondays, always have, even when I worked in retail I usually had Monday's off, so it's like a fresh new start to another week, and this one is going to be hot, hot, hot. We have, in Ontario, finally come into summer weather when it is already close to September, with temp's up to 30c (84F) but with the humidity feels a lot warmer.

My hubby has taken this week as vacation, we are just going to hang out together, nothing special planned yet.

So, about my canvas, nestled amongst the thyme. I have been so unsure about it, and would love to hear your comments. I used a combination of moss green and tan among other things and blasted it with the heat gun. I thought the lace around her neck looked like the vintage doily I have used, which I painted a bit with some twinkling H20's, which is hard to see in the photo.

I am afraid there is a bit of a glare from the sun over the beautiful, magical image, created digitally by the talented Terri Kahrs at Pringle Hill Studio.
Thank you Terri for sharing your digital art for us to use.
You can click on photos if you want a closer look :)
Enjoy your day, and I will be back on Wednesday with a blogaversary giveaway ....
