'happy'


I enjoyed making my little 'wish' canvas so much I think I'm going to turn it in to a series.  Its always good to have an odd number for a series and there are seven colours in the rainbow so I'm going to plump for seven mini canvases.  Here is number two...


This one is 40mm by 60mm - really rather diddy!!  I have used violet India ink, pearlescent medium, a stencil and a rubber stamp for the background.  I had a few offcuts of the same violet ink on some paper strips, so I cut and layered them, stapling them to each other.  I glued my paper stack on to the canvas and splattered the remaining India ink on top.


I finished off by adding a 'happy' rub on.  I think all of my canvases will have a positive rub on added.

I'm quite looking forward to my row of rainbow coloured mini canvases :)

Sharing at the playground.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Laura, this is so pretty! Love your idea of the 7 canvases...and the texture on this one is especially wonderful. Liked the strippy rectangular 'picture' you created over the stamped background, even the staples were dimensional. Great way to express "happy" too! Can't wait to see your next canvas. Good to see you in the Snippets Playground. TFS & Hugs

    Love this idea of the seven colours of canvases. This one is so soft and pretty! The stamp you chose is perfect for this look.

    I couldn't work out what the fabby stitch look was. Never guessed it to be staples. I can't wait to see what you do with te other 5 colours. hugs Mrs A.

    Hi Laura
    What a lovely idea, to do a series of little canvases all different colours .... do you have somewhere planned to put them?

    This one is great too Laura! I've read about the rule of having odd numbers. So, my guess is you haven't created the orange canvas yet. I found this about the color Orange: http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/color-orange.html

    Maybe Intuition might be a good word.
    Hugs,

      This was great Kay, thank you so much!
      I now have a list of six words and a nearly finished canvas. I'll contemplate the words until one stands out as the best...
      Thanks for your help x

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

WOYWW & Card Deck Swap

First up is my desk ... Hmm.  Perhaps the less said the better!  I really should have a sort out but I fancy desking instead! Next I want to share my card deck swaps (deskers don't have to stay for this bit but I reckon you'd enjoy joining in with us, which is why I'm including it in this post) You can read about the swap here on Jessica's blog and sign up here .  Basically, we take a deck of cards, add paint and/or paper, then add a positive sentiment to each card.  Post them to Jessica who shuffles them and sends back 52 different cards from different artists (yes, you are an artist!) from all over the world. These few are ones I have picked out to display first.  I'll swap them round after a few weeks.  Do you like my domino pegs?  :) Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll at least consider joining us for the card swap - it's like a super sized ATC swap, and all WOYWW er's know they are fun! See you at your desk x
