This is definetly a self-titled piece lol, yes this is what I think I am ... A BEAUTIFUL CREATIVE MESS, need I say more. I had so much fun creating this! There are a few things I would do different and quite honestly I might go in and add some things later BUT I'm still happy with how this turned out considering it was my first official canvas. I am working on doing what I love without judgment...Art without judgement, martial arts without judgement, exercise without judgement...well you get the idea lol. I have to say that I am finding this mixed media thing to be completely freeing, I find myself creating and playing in a way I never let myself with scrapbooking, I'm not sure why but here it is and I am loving it. I feel like a little kit just experimenting and playing with inks and paper and pens...so fun. I can't draw so that will definitely be one of the skills I will be working on improving. A few things about this canvas that you should know first the lettering
was all done with OLD stickers, I mean old! Some of the Creative
Memories stickers, some I got at a dollar store and another set all at
least 6 years old maybe older. I used the technique shown in Christy Tomlinson's tutorial on the Do What Matter's Most Canvas, I like the
look of the letters this way, by using them as masks it gives it a whole
other look and dimension. The rest as done with just acrylic paint and
different found items I used for texture. Oh and since I am new at
this I have just been using your basic black sharpie, I don't want to
invest a ton of money on expensive tools...YET!
