This is a 4 x 4 canvas made at Art from the Heart on yesterdays workshop. The fab images are from Lisa's Altered Art and are available as digital downloads for $2.00 a sheet and can be used over and over. I ordered a couple of sheets last night and she gave me 2 free ones, so 4 sheets for $4.00, you can't go wrong.
I used the some of the altered words / sayings from another one of Lisa's altered sheets for the 4 sides
The canvas was firstly cover with the lightest of the 3 dabbers in the colour co-ordinating set, in my case green, no surprise there then!!! This just gave a light base coat. The second of the colours was just dabbed on and then rubbed in with a finger and the third and darkest colour was used to 'frame' the piece, ie each edge was swiped with the dark colour. The metled bees wax use used to attach the images and words, tissue and dress making paper to the canvas. It gives it a lovely smell and a great texture!!!

All the beeswax stuff looks great, love the collage look of this canvas and the extra wording on the deep sides looks fab!
Great to see the finished canvas Sam. I think I may have to order some of Lisa's sheets too.
I love the effect of the wax and the image/words combo and (of course) the colour! Lovely piece.
