                              you will LOVE working on these      
                                      new burlap canvases!

                                           
                                                   
                           
                            I printed a picture of the Eiffel Tower
                                   and cut it out  as a template...




                         then traced & cut out vintage paper Eiffel Tower





                               before adhering paper Eiffel Tower, 
                                  stamp harlequin pattern on burlap
                                              using    Rubbermoon's 
          ' Ultimate Red Rubber Palette' ...this is SO MUCH FUN!!!
       
                            just put a lil' dab of thinned white paint onto palette, 
                              then stamp to your heart's content!

                                   
                     

                                              *it doesn't have to be perfect, 
                          the burlap lends gorgeous dimension.





                         use your favorite paper glue to adhere Eiffel Tower...





                                     
                                          add light wash of spring colors
                                  to harlequin diamonds...




start placing pretty posies and glue to burlap...



                   sprinkle LIBERALLY with colorful sparkles...
                           (but of course! why wouldn't you?)




                        add artsy sketchy details to Eiffel Tower
                                     with charcoal pencil...



                                                                almost there.....



                                           scribbled phrase and edge details, 
                                 ooooh, love that charcoal!!!

                                               for balance

For many years I was a decorative /faux painter and worked on HUGE surfaces...walls and ceilings. I painted murals, stenciled, troweled, plastered, climbed ladders & scaffolding and hauled buckets ( so GLAMOUROUS!!!) but what I really really loved most about it was just the freewheeling glee of SMOOSHING and LAYERING color all over a big white surface, sometimes with both hands flying in the paint... cuz if I didn't work quickly enough, I ended up in deep doo-doo with a sticky uncooperative mess on the wall...

ANYHOO, those years served me well - I still LOVE to smoosh paint, but on a mucho smaller surface.

 and without ladders.  yay!

Back then, one of my favorite decorative painting techniques was called 'ghost-stenciling' -  duplicating the look of old variegated fading wallpaper using a giant patterned stencil. It never failed to produce ELEGANT, BEAUTIFUL and slightly MYSTERIOUS looking walls...

SO!!!!

of course, it's perfectly logical, right?????  I just happen to have these oh-so-fun  RUBBERMOON STAMPS...and canvas...and curiosity...
