Canvas for Father's day

Hi again

I want to share this with you. This is something that I did a while ago. Everything on this canvas reminded me of a dad. This is a 8"x8" canvas which I coloured with ink.

 I used Ranger Color Wash ink. Lettuce, Espresso, Butterscotch and Terra Cotta.

I painted the canvas with water, then applied the ink in drops. Tilted the canvas from side to side so the ink can mix. When I was satisfied with the look, I took some coarse sea salt and sprinkled it on the canvas. That will give you the blotchy effect.

 

The paper I used for the 2"x2" squares are from 7Gypsy's. Some of the embellishments were gathered and some were bought. The stamps I used are from Technique Tuesday and from Crafty Individuals. In block no 3, I used Lightning Black ink from Brilliance to get that greasy look on the gears.

 

A real washer and some small play cards makes up block no 6. I colored the washer with alcohol ink and stamped on it with StazOn ink. The little light globe on the right is the real thing, the tiniest one I could find!

For block no 7, I made a some of barbed wire from a piece of copper wire, that was fun, but not so easy. A piece of cork and some nails in no 8 and a piece of measuring tape, because dad always measures something!

Any questions on this project, feel free to ask.

Until next time.
