Serenity

My first real canvas… I have done a couple of tiny ones but this one is 8x8. I used my grandmother’s buttons and little purse. I hated to glue it but then I thought I was preserving it and that it would be where I could enjoy it too. I used the fresco technique from ATC lesson 7 and then my spackle technique too.

    Inka, this is brilliant! I love it when there is an element that draws the eye off the canvas. I would hang this in my home.

    I love this. That added found objects are great. I like that the elements extend past the canvas.

    What can I say about this piece...?
    well where to begin, I love the metal object on the side and the hanger. The image is just beautiful. The metallic embossing just ties everything in - I so LOVE it!!!!
