Re-birth

Time to mark a new stage in my life by starting a brand-new blog. What good is creating if  no one sees your work, so that is my goal, to share my hobbies and passions with anyone who is interested.  In the past I focused primarily on paper crafts, scrap booking, card making but lately it is acrylic painting that is really driving me forwards.

I  found a good way to kick start my creativity is to participate in challenges so that's where this journey starts. I am part of a Facebook group for Canvas Corp Brands Collective... a group filled with talent and inspiration... they also host a monthly challenge #ccbchallenge, you can see where I am headed, right? This months challenge is Re-birth, the idea was to use the word or there mood board as inspiration for a project.



So this is a reversed 10x10 canvas, I used gesso on the backside of the canvas and painted my version of the pussy willow branches from the mood board and useded the edges of the canvas of the frame. I painted it with paynes gray and covered it in lace.

Here is a close-up of the pussy willow, it is hard to zero in on some of the details when you are looking at the project as a whole...


Then I created a few flower clusters for my corners using random flowers, leaves that I stamped and cut from  burlap and some trinkets that I have accumulated over the years... I assembled it all on some frayed burlap that I had in my stash and added a few rhinestones for
Some additional pop, here is a close up of those.




So there it is... hope you all enjoyed my project and this post, feel free to leave me a message with your thoughts! See you next time ;)
