Do More With Less: Using up little bits of lace on a mixed media canvas...

Tuesday

Using up little bits of lace on a mixed media canvas...

Vintage-4x4-mixed-media-canvas

If you are like me and can't bear to throw away little bits of pretty lace, then try what I did....adhere them all to a canvas..

The base of the canvas was created with bits and pieces of lace from previous projects, Faber Castell gelato, Golden fiber paste applied through The Crafter's Workshop stencil and gesso. I didn't have enough lace so I added some patterned paper to the mix...*winks*

What do you think?
