Wedded Bliss 12x12 mixed media canvas...it's NOT a layout

the picture is a bit fuzzy because it's small and I can't be bothered retaking a photo right now because I want to finish my apron swap project



texture created through layering...PVA is my friend!



I can't give away too much detail because I am pushing it as a future class but I will tell you I used nearly 120 1.75cm flowers from Green Tara. My project is a 12x12 shallow back canvas...are you shocked I used the front?

Green Tara 1.75cm flowers:
black (CODE: FDV016BL), red (CODE: FDV016R) and white (CODE: FDV016Wh) 1.75cm paper...well worth it I think.

playing with ribbon

I took a break from my paper work for next year's classes to relax and look through my stash of ribbons from Green Tara, after a little play with layering them to make a 4x4 inch log cabin patch I decided I needed a new headband to keep my hair out of my face...what better than to use funky ribbons! I also used some of the cute metal flowers as centers for the blooms...they come flat, so I used my flush cutters to cut the metal and bend them up before glueing to another flat flower. I think they look pretty cool and very funky. The patch will be a part of a wall hanging...the pins won't be staying, although they do look good

products used:

• 2cm metal flowers
• 9mm vertical stripe ribbon (used in patch)
• 22mm vertical stripe ribbon (used for flowers)

Christmas Angel

when I was last in Perth I picked up some foam dress forms...and they have sat atop my shelf since then...until I received my DT package from Green Tara.

I first coated the form with Mod Podge before wrapping it closely with a piece of vintage pattern paper. Once it was dry I coated the entire piece with Mod Podge Hard Coat to strengthen and seal.

Then it's just a matter of decorating, here are the links to the products used...please note that Green Tara is a wholesaler, so you will have to contact your local retailer to get the goodies I use...ok back to the list...

• WHITE SILK FLOWERS WITH SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL CENTRES
• WHITE JUTE RIBBON
• 3MM GOLD BEAD GARLAND
• ORGANZA METALLIC GOLD FLOURISH RIBBON
• SELF ADHESIVE METALLIC GOLD TRIM
• SMALL POINSETTIAS

the wings are of course flourishes from another lovely Aussie wholesaler...Words Or Whatever

the actual piece I used is called Flourish 10 I always modify to suit my pieces.
