And here is my texture project!! I started out with a totally different idea in mind. I knew I wanted to use the Emily Dickinson poem, but I originally wanted to start with tissue paper leaves. Well, I did start with orange, yellow and red tissue paper. But I just made a lumpy mess of fun. Then I covered the tissue paper with different colors of paint, rolling it on with a brayer. When the tissue paper was dry and the canvas was so horrible and on the way into my 'recycle this mess' pile, I realized that I really did like the texture. So I mixed up some heavy body white with some blue and got out a fun circle stencil and the canvas had a second life!! I managed to get in my orange and yellow Indian Summer colors and finished off this small texture canvas!!
Surprisingly, in real life the tissue paper doesn't show up as much as it does in pictures!!
So, enjoy the 5 for 5 canvases today, make sure to visit them and leave some love!! -Karen
