Relax

I've been working on my Design Team projects and posted a canvas today that I crated during the week
Used an image by Fred She Said called Growing Together

Image was colored with Prisma coloring pencils. Background was created with gesso, texture paste, acrylics, fluid acrylics and Gelatos. I use a recycled cardboard to create the clouds; loving the texture. everything was put together with gel medium.

Hope you like it, I do!!!

Love,

Julia

Hope!

Today I'm sharing a mixed media canvas called Hope.
I took a class sometime ago with Lauri Grimshaw~Cox and she was so inspiring.
Making this canvas was so much fun, took some time to complete, but I really like it.
I used every coloring medium that I have and some crackle medium and stains and stickles, yay, I had a blast.

Hope is part of my journey!
I want to share this at:

Color...

I love bright colors!
There, I said it, and it feels so good; the brighter... the better.
During my creative journey, I've always been driven towards the bright red and turquoise colors, happy yellows and marvelous purples, greens and fushias.
Color makes me happy, inspires me and makes me feel powerful.
That was my inspiration for this mixed media canvas:

For the background I used Dylusions Ink Sprays: Bubblegum Pink, Squeezed Orange, Pure Sunshine, Crushed Grape, Postbox Red and London Blue. For the letters I used a plastic stencil from a school supply. Added some shimmer with Perfect Pearls Mist: Blue Patina.
Then doodled a little with a black Sharpie and added small dots of white acrylic paint. Used Distress Ink ( Black Soot) around the border to finish it all.
I love this piece and can only wish that it brings some happiness to you.
