Enjoy the Journey

Happy Mixed Media Monday to ya, Norma here with you today!!


I really love painting so I decided to take the beautiful new June Nesting Components kit and paint it up!!


This is an 11" x 14" canvas and everything on it came from my Nesting Components kit except for the canvas, paints and oil pastels.


I started out by adhering several sheets of the Hope Chest papers then I drew the outline of my focal image. 


With the base done, I turned my focus to building up texture with paints, inks and oil pastels.  When working on a project like this, keep in mind that there are no rules.  The amount of layers you apply is totally up to you, so add a much or as little as you'd like.


I used a few of the paper goods tags for added texture and drew the flowers on with oil pastels.


I had a little transfer fun with one of the clip are images.


These sweet little family of birds needed somewhere to perch :D


Oh and the star of my piece!!  Her hat and dress are paper pieced with more of the Hope Chest sheets.  I also used the stamps for more texture.


Even the sides got a little PWP stamping love!!


Thank you so much for joining me today and remember to 
"Enjoy the Journey"!!

  5. You are so good, Norma! I luv the images in your work. Did I read where many of them are of you? They are so beautiful, they must be you! You really inspire me to put more drawings in my work, but right now they are only in my Art Journal. Not on canvas, yet!
    TFS!
