A Finer Crafty-Ness...

Thought I'd share with you my husband's attempt at hand crafting a stick... a bit of old blackthorn branch he found in the woods , let it dry out for one year...( fancy waiting a year before you can do anything with it ... patience !) then he attached some antlers, an end piece & varnished it. hey presto an altered stick X 

Long rectangle canvas, painted with Acrylic paints- the shells plucked from the beach /fake seaweed were stuck into the texture paste, & as yet not fallen off :) Oh to be on a nice hot meditteranean beach now..... !

Acrylic Painted  back ground & paper artsy stamps... Whilst I had the paints out along came same ATC's with more paper artsy stamps... all stamps by paper artsy.

Bird Life - Canvas This didn't turn out how I wanted it to turn out... however I think I'll try again & do another version of this another time to see if I can get it better.   I wanted to use some texture paste ( never used it before ...) so I plonked a very small amount on here to see how would work... all the beads have stuck on well & hey this stuff is brilliant. Adds texture -like it says on the tin.. great for 'cementing ' things on to the canvas & I think I'm going to have a go soon at stamping in it  & see what that turns out like...I 'm in the process of working on another canvas & so far I've added some shells in this paste & they've stuck fast & not yet fallen off... Lets see when I've finished it!  Any way for this practice  - Materials I used : Small square white canvas Blue Acrylic paints Tissue paper Multi Medium Texture paste Inca Gold paint Thin gold colou...
