Hello everyone. I wanted to invite you to see the fabulous pattern of the Gypsy Moments papers from 7Gypsies. I love them and this time I use them to make a small surprise form y friend Roberta. Some time ago she saw my three canvases (the Flower canvas, the Poison Mashroom canvas and the Follow Me canvas ) in my Gothic Fairytale in an exibition I had and she said that she would love to have one. I enjoy making pieces that find a lovely place to "live" and don't stay in drawers and so I decided to make her a canvas ad personam and of course in my Gothic Fairytale style. This means stitches, black branches,… The canvas title is : R is for…
You would say that is just because her name is Roberta but this R is also for romance, reading, rebel, relaxation,… and maybe even for Rok (her husband). Every day she can decide what this R stands for.
I find that the patterns of the Gypsy moments paper would be perfect for this occasion, They have a retro scent and that was I needed. I put together a big R that I cut out of just regular cardboard. I glued different types of Gypsy moments pattern paper, distressed and glued everythhing on the canvas on the black R shaped glow.
I make some stitches to join the pieces together. With a toothpick I painted the irregular
braches using the Tattered Angels Black
High Imact Paint. Some of the branches continue in a 3D way because I put some
wire throught the branches ends and painted also the wire as well.I used the
Tattered Angels Glimmer MIst to make some spots of paint here and there and
also painted the small letteres ( the names of her three kids) with it.
From Canvas Corp, beside the canvas itself I also used the
wire and the metal hardware pieces that give a grungy spice.I added a few drops of Green High Impact Paint.
I hope she will like it.... See you next time!
