Tiny Canvas

 

Check out this tiny little canvas! It is 2 x3 inches! It is my first mixed media canvas so I thought I would start small …lol. Actually I just received a tiny 2 x 2 inch canvas from one of my groups and when I saw these in the art store the other day I thought I should have a little practice before I do the one I am to send in.

I have had several ask “how did I do that” so here is how that was done … LOL

First I painted it with black gesso and then the next day I painted it with one step crackle. It did not crackle though. Maybe I did not wait long enough, I can be inpatient at times :)) I had never used that stuff before so I must have done it wrong …anyway…I did not like the glossy sheen it gave so I painted it with sparkle glaze. Once that was dry I put glue on the area I wanted sky and used two colors of blue embossing powder and embossed it. Then I glued on some Judikins Spring Meadow speckles for the hillside. Then I cut out the lady from one of my photo art sheets and glued her on. The little glass circle over her face is a test cut from our circle cutter. We just got the new bits in to cut them and they will be available at Inka Stamps eventually. I hot glued the circle on and sprinkled it with foil flakes. When it was cooled, I brushed off the excess flakes and glued on the star and saying. Then I added some gold texture paint to the bottom edge and called it done.
