One of the retreat challenges was to create something with a napkin, and I decided to make a canvas, and here is the finished result.....
Here is the napkin I started with...
I covered the blank canvas with plain scrunched tissue paper and Mod Podge, followed by layers of torn up pieces of the napkin. Once that was dry, I painted the canvas with a white acrylic wash to mute the patterns, and then sprayed the bottom half with some blue Tim Holtz Color Wash.
I added background detail with a Sharpie pen and rub-ons, and stuck on some paper-covered chipboard trees and handmade clouds.....
To finish off, I added some of the birds from the napkin that I mounted on white cardstock and fussy-cut around and an inspiration quote....
I had so many positive comments about this canvas on the retreat, I just felt I had to share....thanks for looking.
I also have to give a big thanks and shout-out to Nicole Pomeroy for the inspiration for this....Nic your canvas artwork rocks!
