#2 ABAC Project

This week is all about texture. That is right texture, as you know I absolutely love it. 
This time it took it to a whole new level by adding modeling paste to the mix.
Here is my first ever working on a canvas plus doing mix media.
Don't mine the smudge on the wall I still need to paint  my bedroom. It still has my brother's old color. 

This was done with the paste and glimmer mists.

I love the stamp leaves along the twine.

For the leaf border I was able to use some vellum that I have had in my stash for over 10 years.
 I colored the canvas with Quick Quoted ink pads. Those things are very juicy. I cut an old photo sleeve from an album, adhere to the canvas so I could slide the photo in place. 
All my items for texture are twine, burlap, modeling paste, fabric flowers and  buttons.

  7. Hi Mandy for your first piece of mixed media your piece is lovely. Be warned though nothing will be safe from here on in and mixed media idea will lead you to interesting experimentation. :)
