Fly Canvas

Hello Roadies, Ronda here to share with you an awesome canvas created by Andrea Walford of the Paper Crafter's Library.  Andrea explains how she created this masterpiece.

Here's a look at how Andrea created it in her words. 

I embedded the Jonathan Alphabet letters in modelling paste on a 6" x 6" canvas - using random letters, except for the title {fly} which I positioned in the bottom left corner.  I then covered the letters in about 6 layers of gesso.  I painted the canvas with watered down Maya Mists using a paint brush (rather than misting as you get more control), and then stamped a couple of texture stamps in black. I stamped the butterflies onto an acetate transparency and then cut them out and stuck them to the canvas with a clear drying glue. I outlined the word {fly} to make it stand out. The words were typed on the computer and collaged onto the canvas.

So very beautiful.  I love the colors with the pops of black on the background.  It really shows how versatile Maya Mist can be on all your mixed media projects.  Thank you Andrea so much for sharing this stunning canvas with us.  Make sure you check out the Paper Crafter's Library for tons of techniques and tutorials.
