A couple of weeks ago I finished a special project... a mixed media canvas. It has a story behind it. My Mom passed away on September 19th. While cleaning her house we found 2 blank canvasses. I took them home, being the only one in the family that enjoys crafting. It took a month to finish, because I had to find the courage to do the face. I do snowmen, Santa's, and jack-o-lantern faces, so it was a bit of a challenge for me. Here it is.
It's a mix of paper, paint, pens, stencils, stamps, punches, and mod podge. The doll is a paper doll pattern from Gabrielle Pollacco. I cut the pattern on my Silhouette. The heart is a wonky hand-cut heart covered in torn pieces of scrapbook paper. I painted vines and leaves, and covered them with flowers punched from painted book pages. I curled the flowers over a paint brush handle for dimension. It's hard to tell from this picture, but the original background is pages from word search puzzles she finished.
Mom loved flowers, color, and texture. I hope she likes her finished canvas. I love you, Mom.
