Today is Full of Possibilities- Round Canvas.

Today is Full of Possibilities- Round Canvas.

well i say round canvas but its not, its actually a place mat, you know one of those old shiny patterned place mats with felt on the back to protect the table, its the bigger one for your dinner plate (i also use the small coasters for your cups) this one had an embroidery flower design, not any more, its perfect, solid, no warping and a fab finish on the back i love using things like this, found them on the car boot, 3 of them for a £1, much cheaper than a canvas lol

i also found the mini candle stick on the car boot £1!! 

i love my Sunday morning car boot hunt for alterable treasures.

i stared with the base gesso and added some texture, stencil and heavy paste, glass glitter and paste mix and some gritty paste.

when all that was dry i added my center arrangement , mdf frame and cogs and some wooden sticks then my candle stick all glued on with 3d gel, i then had to be patient and let it dry and stick well, i did pick it up once and my candle stick fell off, needed to be patient for longer lol !!

the next day when all was stuck well, i added my back ground colour, i love playing with the colour, inking and drying then inking some more, when happy i then started with my flowers, they were a lighter pink to start with but it was just not right so out came the spray ink and then i was happy.

i then got my flower box out its full of all sorts of bits not just the flowers but the pearls on stalks and other random little bits i can poke in here and there it all adds to the touchy feelyness of it all (yes i make up words as i go along too lol)

then i added some wax, silver was a favourite for this one with a bit of red and purple added too, 

lastly it was some splattering on this i used silver and red and then added my title.
