"Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas." Donatella Versace
And that apparently, is supposed to explain the cluster of seemingly unrelated elements on my mixed media canvas....*winks*
I would like to tell you that there's a deeper meaning to the elements here but really, I just pulled together all the browns and beiges in my "save-it-for-a-rainy-day" stash...*LOL*[ yes, the teddy bear fabric button looks totally out of place, right?].
I started by covering an old canvas with DCWV burlap, then used distress paint and my fave The Crafter's Workshop stencil for the background.
Then I picked out elements in neutral tones for an overall organic feel.
Playing along with the Up, up and away challenge at Off The Rails.
Stunning!

ReplyDeleteEven though I am also a collector of bits of this and that, my favorite part of this project is the stenciled burlap. It is really interesting and adds so much to the piece. I really need to revisit all my stencils and maybe get a few more *wink-wink*

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful burlap canvas! I love that little teddy bear button! And I love how you used all of the elements. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the canvas Yvonne! The chevron pattern on the burlap looks great and all the gorgeous clustering of embellishments looks awesome! I so admire your creativity.. Thank you for sharing this :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i think the teddy bear button is perfect :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Gorgeous! My favorite color is actually brown, so this particular collection of goods really tugs at my heartstrings. Love the chevron stencil pattern on the background, and your unique combination of elements is what makes you such an amazing artist. And honestly, I think the bear goes with the sentiment. Reminds me of Pooh Bear and those famous lines: “Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
ReplyDeleteLOVING the neutral tones here & that awesome chevron stenciling!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Project you have... !
