The first project to share is my Heart Journal page for April, you can find the instructions for all the pages to date right here. This one involves using Gesso and Baking Soda, along with acrylic paints, etc. I love the texture and the dimension. After mixing the gesso and baking soda, you heat with a heat gun and stamp into the large bubble it makes--check the link and scroll down for Aprils page. The stamps I used were a star, feather, words and dragonfly. I'm a bit behind but I'll get there :)
My other project is a 16" x 20" canvas. I took this photo yesterday, there's already more paint and the scrolls are more muted. I've cut up a gift bag with the Eiffel tower and some flowers for on it. I'll be sure to post a picture of the finished project...hopefully in a few days!
Thanks for coming to visit, check out the tea bloggers list on Kims' site.

ReplyDeleteI knew I was going to be late this week, but I got really, really behind when I clicked on the link to the gessoed heart. I got all caught up in the techniques and I may have to "borrow" the ideas this gal has. I love how you interpreted April. I can't wait to see May and June's too.
ReplyDeleteHope your tea Tuesday was perfect. It was so fun visiting.
We had blue skies for a couple of days but now the dust has returned again. Bleh! Your heart is very pretty and I love the colors you are using on the canvas. Look forward to seeing it finished. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, looking forward to seeing where your going with your canvas :)
