This inside out canvas happened by mistake. I was walking Fraz on Friday afternoon and I found a lovely piece of bark. I was wondering what I could do with it and continued to pick up bits of other things. Once home I turned over a 10 x 10 canvas and started to lay everything inside it. I took everything out again and used expresso, hazelnut and pearl acrylic dabber paints to paint the back of the canvas and the bare wooden frame. I glued everything back in place, got my wooden letters (another Canada find) , painted them with frayed burlap crackle and the above was created - It will all fall to bits at some point as it isn't treated with anything!!!!

Wow, its great!
That is brilliant Sam!
This is GORGEOUS! I may just have to steal this idea, I love it. Really beautiful. It won't necessarily fall to bits will it? If it's not being moved around or anything. Inspired.
xxxxxxx
brilliant Sam - love all the bits you've "found" and the way you have brought them all together

Love all your 'found' items Sam, which you have incorporated beautifully !!
This is wonderful Sam, love the natural ingredients! xx
What a fabulous piece of art, Sam. I love the idea of using all the found natural items.
btw my DD made a scrapbook page using leaves and cones etc a few years ago and it's still okay. It hangs in the conservatory.
Love what you've done with all your 'finds'. Funny..cos just a few days ago I found 2 stunning bits of bark and wondered what to do with them. x
