MILDRED'S CANVAS....

Hello my Lovelies, I made something a little different and this is really photo heavy and a long post,, SORRY, you better grab a cuppa, lots of things going on this canvas. My lovely friend Mildred is blind, so I decided to make her something she can feel to visualize what my art is all about...

I covered the canvas with  some gesso on different parts, used some paints and inks to color it, glued some different laces around in spots.

 I used some beaded letter for her name on top of some old crocheted lace, ran eyelash wool along the side

 I had to add some corrugate, 2 pieces with a bit of gesso,  a mirrored Magpie  :), a chip board tea cup and tea bag, I inked them then stamped a Chinese best of luck sign, I cover the tea bag with a used tea bag, some string and stamped the label

 On top of another piece of lace, I used a crocheted piece, a circle covered in string then the watch, I used a glass bead with a tiny bit of lace under it, in the corner to secure the wool in place'

 I used one of the lovely die cuts I got from my Cuz Miss Julie Ann and some of the bits of pieces on the out side, added some Cancer pieces the hope and heart and wings...

 I put a bit of ladder wool and attached a tiny flower I made.Used another crocheted tea dyed piece under the metal fish, it was part of a bracelet.

I

 I used a stencil for the vine, it looks like sea weed now with the pearl for the water bubbles, I dripped some bees wax along this side

 Another crotchet piece with 2 glass bead to hold up the metal butterfly, I colored it with Tim's paint and added a string of bling for its body

 I wanted her to feel some textured paper all edged and curled, two embossed piece, some inked water color papers, the "thinking of you" was a piece I had sitting around, it's old journal paper inked and stamped

 A feather arrangement....

 I fussy cut one of the gorgeous embossed feathers Tonniece made for me added 4 real feathers on top, one had a leather strip with some beads, the flower is made of leather, it was a pair of earrings, added a tiny feather on it.....

Thanks for hanging around to see all of this, I hope it brings her lots of pleasure feeling everything, I really enjoyed making it and sharing it with you...

We had a scare with Deb, but she is still hanging in there like the Trooper that she is.
Two weeks have passed already, the Dragons are dreaming already, I have to put my air conditioner in so that will means tearing apart my studio apart, then put it back together so I hope I'll have time to do a bit of dreaming before that..
Thanks for visiting my nest, I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
