This canvas has a bit of everything!!!! I tore the main image from a book, covered the canvas with mod podge, stuck the image on and gave it a coat of mod podge too. I used walnut distressed ink and juniper acrylic dabbers to create the background colours. I stamped the tickets and the word journey in black stazon. I tore a ticket in half and used that along with a black clock face and a grunge board letter j with gold wire wrapped around it to embellish. I cut and stuck various words relating to the image. I used a TH fragment to enhance the word luggage. I used my new craft tool to melt some green wax crayon and iron it onto the canvas. I covered the main image with a coat of bees wax. To finish I added 6 rusty nails along the top!!!!

Wow, thats stunning. xx
Wow so much going on - great work Sam xx
Brilliant - you had a go with your new tool - I had best get out of the box and play too.
Sam this is absolutely stunning - love everything you've added to it
a stunning canvas!!!
This is a great piece - are you going to display it? I would. I've heard of 'mixed media' but I think you mixed practically everything you can lay you hands on here and what a stunning end result - a real masterpiece.
You've really pulled the theme together with the items you've added, the words and the image.
xxxxxxxxxx
Super canvas Sam, i've been meaning to do another myself but there just arn't enough hours in the day lately!!
