: projects and a future freebie

I started this a while back, and it sat on my desk unfinished for some time because I wasn't
sure what I wanted it to say.
Decided just to get to the point.


The word 'kind' doesn't show up well in the photo... but its there.

I used a plain canvas, and glued thin cotton fabric over it to get the wrinkles, then
painted with gesso and then watercolors.


The cut outs are all from Pink Paislee, the butterfly package with tons of
sweet vintage looking goodies.
Glued those all on and then covered it all with Golden clear tar gel, which gives it a 
glossy look and soft feel.

Finished this too:

I used this banner in the blog header here and in my shop.
It is a real denim stitched bunting that I sewed and then photographed and 
now I've converted it to a png file, and if you'd like to get it for yourself,
then come back next week!
:oP
I'll post the link in the message board here:



I was thinking it would look cute with this pretty paper from Pink Paislee:



Have a lovely weekend!
