This is the first canvas I included die-cuts on - the Tim Holtz spooky tree. I used a box canvas, and so when the light is behind it, the orange appears to glow. I also played around with clear tar gel - using a lolly stick and dribbling it onto the canvas (towards the bottom) - I like the texture.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a person in possession of inky painty fingers, must be into mixed media, altered art, and all things artful! (with apologies to Jane Austen)
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Blue - but not blue!
Whilst I'm working on a new project, I thought I would share a past project. I have previously talked about always using blues and purples as these are my favourite colours. I also think colour can show moods, and I did this canvas when I was feeling a bit down and blue - and not a blue hue in sight! So blue is probably my happy colour!!!
