Afternoon art with friends

Saturday afternoon I had the chance to get together with a group of friends.  I took a bunch of my art supplies and some blank canvas' and we played with paper, paint and a few found objects.  This is a little bit of what the results were.  But, mostly it was about spending time with each other and having fun.  The food was really good too!

None of them had ever done a mixed media project before and they bravely worked outside of their creative boxes all afternoon.  It was a great adventure and I think their work turned out awesome!  Thanks ladies I had so much fun with you.

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll talk to you again soon.

Mixed Media Monday

Hello, I hope you are having a happy start to your week.  Today I am sharing a mixed media canvas that I have been working on last few days.  I'm not sure it is finished but I'm at a stopping point right now.  I played around with a Tim Holtz stencil "Burlap" and some modeling paste.

That gave it lots of interesting texture. Then I kept dabbing and splattering paint on it.  The heart is a piece of scrap card stock that I layered with multiple colors.  I wanted it to have a glow to it.

I stamped randomly on it with a variety of acrylic and roller stamps and then added my verse with some doodles and scribbles.   I am going to link up to a couple of challenge blogs today so I hope you'll take a few minutes to visit them as well.
