Just a Sunday afternoon canvas.....D

Inspired by the this beautiful summers day....

After being stuck in traffic this morning for what should have been a 20 min journey turned into 2 hours.  To top it all I had the twins in the car with me.  Murder!

Anyway once home I needed to make something as my mojo went a while back and am still not sure if it is completely returned yet.  I have been crochetting flowers whilst sitting in front of the telly some evenings.  I bought some 30 crochet cotton which is lace fine and a tiny crochet hook so very time consuming and not alot finished either lol.

 I am not all that happy about this project.  Well that is not true I love the sticks and grass at the bottom lol. 

I cover the canvas with molding paste and made a swirly pattern at the top and just random at the bottom.

I stuck some twigs on from my garden and covered them with marabou feathers.  The flower heads are metal embellishments ( I just love metal embellies) painted and the centers are pearls also painted.  The butterflies are also metal from various pieces of jewelry I no longer use.  I used a couple of metallic paints on them and painted seed beads for the bodies.  I sprayed over the top and sides using cosmic shimmer sprays.  I rubbed a little bronze shimmer over the twigs.

That's about it really - not too much involved.





That is it for me today, back to crochet me thinks lol.

Hugz to all
Elaine xxx

How on earth did you get them to stay still for you? This is a fabulous piece of work and I'm going to Pin it for future reference!
