VERY Large canvas 14″ X 18″
A couple of side notes on today’s project.
Chadman has been working on some major school projects so the picture you see of him sitting at the computer desk was taken while he was frankly tired of working. He pulled through and met his homework goals for today!
I have been encouraged greatly by my sister in law, Deb to go big, really big. She would love for me to do a really large canvas. Maybe one day. I had determined I would at least go one size up from the 8″X10″ one that I completed yesterday.
Here is a similar picture I found on google search today.
I visited my local craft store and bought the 14″X18″ canvas. I had seen a print of some owls on a branch.
My goal was not to copy the piece in anyway, but use it as my inspiration. My first inspiration was to use the Accucut die “Owls” as my center focal point. I cut the owls from medium weight chipboard.
The larger of the two owls is actually covered in some old book page before it was painted. The smaller owl is simply covered with a piece of adorable scrap booking paper I had in my collection.
I began this process early this morning around 11:30 am. I finished it (for now) at around 9:45pm. I bet you’re wondering “finished for now” what is that supposed to mean.
Well, you see, when you catch the altering bug there is a point where you can’t get enough of the project. You keep adding to it until you like the result. If you don’t like it, repaint it with white paint and carry on!
I wanted lots of textures and color in this project. I will be gifting this mixed media project. Once it is done I will seal it with a light protective clear mat glaze. It needs to be completely dry. Which will happen while sitting over night.
Here is the video slide show of the process. I hope you enjoy the Cheerful Christmas music! My birthday is Saturday the 15th of December. I am going to be celebrating it with Chad and I’m sure we’ll have a wonderful time together.
Thanks for stopping by. Stamp Happy and be a blessing!
Merry Christmas!
