working last minute on this little canvas to take along to California may have been why I forgot to pack the traveling tea cup…
still wondering HOW we missed that…
oh well!
there was a point when I did not think the canvas would materialize in time to take on our trip…
you really can’t force creativity…
can you…
it either happens or it doesn’t…
I rescued some sweet smelling pink roses that were decoration around our niece’s wedding cake last October and pressed them with thoughts of making a first anniversary card for them which turned into this canvas instead…
I wrapped it in wax paper tied with baker’s twine just in case as it took lots of layers of gel medium to embed the roses and leaves…
hoping it holds up over time…
“You are an artist of the spirit. Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.” ~Don Miguel Ruiz
Patty! This canvas is stunning to me – truly. I so love the inclusion of the sweet and lovely roses! I guess I’m confused – I thought you already went to California. Sorry for my confusion – things have been a little hectic, here, I’m in process of having to place my mom in a nursing home, here, and it’s been rough. My mind is a bit in a fog.
I wish you a safe and wonderful trip! Love, Marilyn xxoo
LOVE this – so much detail and such beautiful colours. Lots of work and a great result x
Fabulous piece of art work Patty…. beautifully created. Such a lovely gift to treasure x
This is lovely! Never thought about embedding dried flowers in gel medium…
Where there is a will, there is a way! You always seem to stretch the imagination with your crafting, Love this canvas you’ve created. Also Love this quote.
Oh it’s so beautiful! Love the layers and movement of the piece as well as the thoughtfulness that you put into it.
What an incredible gift, Patty. She must have been simply stunned. It has such energy. I know it will be a forever-treasure.
I absolutely love your creation! I, like some others, never thought of embedding dried flowers. I love the look it added to the canvas. Your creativity was working just fine, girlie, girl! Hugs
Truer words……..but apparently your canvas had TOP priority over the traveling cup. And it’s a beauty, my freind. I think Jeanie said it perfectly: it’s a forever-treasure.
Happy Saturday.
I LOVE the color scheme of this piece and the texture is fantastic. I also think the spiral design elements work very well to unify the piece. Beautiful.
This is really beautiful – I love the color combinations, the background and the roses!
This is beautiful, and I think it’s a very good excuse for forgetting the teacup
beautiful art, Patty!!! love the colors and the details…oohh the textures too…
