The Call of the Goddess

Here is a canvas that I did for a friends birthday. She loves goddess symbols. :)

Adding Textured Frames to my journal

I rummaged through my textured papers and played around with painting them to enhance the textures. This was a fun exercise and I love textures!



I also used stencils and light moulding paste to add textures.
And here is a library pocket I covered with some beautiful paper and it turns out just the right size for ATC's. :)

Fresh Spring Face for Tote Bag

I was browsing through the magazine Haute Handbags and got inspired to spruce up a canvas tote I got at Lee Valley. I think they were only $5.00. All I did was mask off a square with wide masking tape and put down 2 layers of Gesso playing with textures as I went. Next I started in with acrylics and just had fun. Then I peeled up the tape and added the stamps. Easy!

Here is a close up below.

Buried Treasure ~ The Disintigration Project

Today is the day for digging up buried treasure. I feels like that. :) Here is my first peek at my bundle as I unearthed it.

You can see the whole bundle here. Burying give much more dramatic results rather than hanging or just placing it outside. At least for me it did.
With my buried bundle I got a lot of goodies to examine and play with for future projects. Lots of gnarly stuff! Cool!!!
