Hello
my dear friends! Wish you all a happy Fall season.
I know I haven’t been
posting any projects lately, the reason being that I was caught up with the
home project which took me a couple of months to complete. Then, it was time
for some family vacation hehe.
Well not exactly true, because I had prepared
something for Canvas Corp Brands, but it was all hush hush till today.
Every now
and then all CCB Crew Members are given a challenge and this time it was about
using a piece of canvas that was sent to us in our DT packs.
Mine was a Canvas Wine Tote. It is a great item to make a gorgeous gift bag with …but I had other
plans…
A while ago I had bought a wooden mannequin from IKEA and now it was
the best opportunity to alter it.
As I look at my project I can clearly recognize
that I was very much influenced by folk costumes of Latin America, on which the
bright colors and the big hats are very distinct features. This didn’t happen
intentionally, but I am very excited to discover how the different images that
have been stored somewhere in my mind, at some point come forth subconsciously
and influence my artwork.
So, here is my Canvas Tote Dress for CCB Summer Crew Challenge!
As
you can see in the process video, or this project I used a variety of Tattered
Angels Mists, in order to make a background and some interesting patterns on
the dress.
I also used some Color Wash Paint and white gesso to create the effect of distressed paint on the wooden surface of the mannequin.
I really
hope you enjoy it and get some inspiration for your canvas projects. Please
leave me your comments or just say hi! I’d love to be in touch
Don’t go far, because it’s going to be a very beeezy and inspiring Autumn!
Thank
you for visiting my blog!
Until
next time,
Be
Brave, Be Who You Want to Be!
