Mini Canvas Hearts
I've been stealing bits and pieces of art time between entertaining a sick child. I've had this small canvas laying around here for a year or more. First I practiced using my crackle paint on it. Then it sat some more. Then something in a magazine caught my eye and I glued some pretty paper squares on it. And it sat around some more. Then I eyed my scraps of Cloth-paper and viola! The cloth-paper hearts are raised off the background a bit to give it depth. The words are cut out of a vintage children's textbook. Which is so much fun to read while I'm searching for the right words. "Billy can't pronounce 'give me' correctly so he has to sit in the corner." Yeah Billy, take that! And wear a dunce cap while you're at it!
Anyway... it seems that hearts are all the rage right now. I guess love is in the air. I sure hope it doesn't freeze solid 'cause that's what I'm about to do...
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
I love this, and when something just sits around half finished just waiting for the finishing touch!!
ReplyDeleteLike your hearts and nice words to live by!! I hope your sun shines tomorrow and mine too!! (but it doesn't look too likely. Hope Celia feels better!!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I love this piece! the crackle paint looks like tree bark! great effect!
ReplyDeleteCelia, hope u feel better.xoxo
Love the combination of colors and patterns! Poor Billy; hope he creates a wildly imaginative story while in the corner.
ReplyDeleteI'm running out of wall space - how about you? Is this 'quiltie' size? Did you see the last Cloth Paper Scissors - if the last 2 pieces are similar sizes the article on pg 60 might apply...don't try to answer here - Lori from Sketchbook PS I like the quilties...
ReplyDeleteInspiration takes its time, but the end result on this project is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteYou are the best for explaining the work step by step!
It's so wonderful when all those little bits and pieces finally all come together. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa really neat! Though I will say after spending a bit more time in the schools and seeing the way we reward bad behavior with special attention and lack of consequenses I may just be ready to see the corner stool come back. Not the dunce cap but "if you can't be nice to others then go sit by yourself for a while" would be really refreshing.
ReplyDeleteOhhh... these are so YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteI hope the little one is feeling better.
