I have a "job" creating canvases for a realtor who gives them to his clients when they purchase a home. It's quite an honour and lots of fun coming up with different pieces. He wanted to see a selection to pick from so I got busy over a two day period.
When I'm making a music themed piece, I like using old music torn up for the background. In the above piece I was also able to us one of Stampin'Up!'s new thinlits (Swirly Scribbles). The lines worked perfectly as a funky sort of staff. I'll be using them a lot for this I'm sure!
I had done a journal page, a week or so ago, similar to this. I thought the muted tones would work well as a house gift. The fun part of this piece was creating the wrinkly texture in the background with a piece of tissue paper.
When I put the black, silver and white paint onto this canvas I really wasn't sure where I was going to go with it. I ended up with a lot of stuff pulled onto my workspace before deciding on punching out squares of different matching papers and embossing some of them.
I was thankful the creative juices were flowing those two days…..and all the pieces were chosen, so that made it even better.
Create something everyday.
