February Me 2 U

This is actually the very last Me 2 You piece i will be doing as a whole year has passed since the swap began.

I made a mini 4"x4" canvas

..

..

You cant see from the pic but the bird is on a stampboard tile and i used a textured paste to add some dimension, the letters are covered in glossy crackle as is the grungboard swirl.

I coloured the piece using gesso, acrylic paint and copics!

I have thoroughly enjoyed making each and every piece each month and am kinda sad its all come to an end.. So i would just like to say thank you to Claire for organising this swap and to all my fellow Angels who took part.

Think I'll have to start a swap or 2 of my own to keep me occupied each month!

Watch this space!

My First Masterpiece

Well to me anyway lol

I had my first proper play with some texture pastes from the "GOLDEN" range, and boy did i have fun. I really wanted to to create a proper piece of artwork as i had been so inspired by the work i had seen displayed at a recent craft show.

Originally i was doing this piece for this months ART RAFFLE hence the Tree, but now don't know if i can part with it lol.. i may have to make something else for the raffle i think !

I call this piece

SUNBURST TREE

It's done on a 8x8" canvas.

I coloured the piece using some TH Distress re-inkers & water and some oil paints.

Close up the texture looks great {can't really see it in the main pic}

I can see me getting more and more into this texture lark, including some fabric and metal pieces, and definatly more canvas art.. watch this space!
