Working with Paper and Canvas

The first picture is a mixed media piece.  I have ribbon, a heart button, bird cut outs, blue and pink card stock and a stamped floral design which I have colored with my water color pencils. I am pleased with the results. The birds look as though they are flying over water and the ribbon resembles palm leaves.  The floral stamp finishes off the edges of the design.  I have not glued them in place yet, but when it is done I plan on putting it onto a canvas frame.

*~*~*~*~*~

The cut outs are my own design and are glued directly on a canvas.  

The mane of the Lion and the grass pop out a bit to give it a three dimentional effect.  

I have no idea what this little elephant is looking for but he sure does have his eye in that palm tree.  I am having fun creating these paper cutouts. This little elephant is one of my favorites.  Using all these different papers really give the piece a lot of texture and depth.

I love Marilyn's glass tile pendants ~ she personalizes them or you can pick out one that she has already made.  They make wonderful gifts for bridesmaids, friends, family or yourself and they come beautifully packaged and ready for gift giving.

I love this one for a mom to be.

Or this one could be for your Maid of Honor 

or your bridesmaids, actually for any of the 

special women in your life.
