Mixed Media Rust

Hi it's Brenda here with my second inspiration project for this month's rusty challenge.

This is very different for me and I'm still not sure about it, yet I really quite like, I'm in a quandary. This is a 5 x 7 canvas board created with metal and mdf embellishments and using DecoArt Mixed Media Fluid Acrylic paints. Even as I'm writing this post I'm wondering whether I should put something else on it like remnant rubs or a quote chip. So if you'd like to see more details and photos I would love to see you over at Bumblebees and Butterflies and maybe between us we can decide whether it needs anything else.

A little abstract....

For our current challenge them - Circles - I decided to create an abstract canvas using texture paste, distress paints, a little stamping and some treasure gold. Do hop over to Addicted to Art for some more details today.

Industrial Chic?

Hi it's Brenda here and I am using canvas board today to create my second sample for our Industrial challenge (Find the quick link on the side panel if you would like to be transported there). I wanted to make something slightly different and as I like contrasts in my work I thought I would see what a shabby coloured background would look like with industrial, aged and time worn elements to embellish it.

Although I love the creation in real life the metallics I have used have made it difficult to take a decent photograph so you're really not seeing the best of it. But there's definitely a distinct contrast in the shabby and time worn colours so I guess it could be called industrial chic, what do you think?

As always there are more photos over on my blog, it would be lovely if you could come and visit at Bumblebees and Butterflies.

Have a great week.

Chris has a canvas to post today!

Hello friends!

Today it's my turn to post and, having been greatly inspired by Brenda's recent canvas workshops, I've created a 'Summer canvas'.  I have a completely different style to Brenda but, nevertheless, isn't that what we do?  We use others' work as our inspiration and motivation...
