Altered Photo With Cross-Stitch (#3)
I brushed over the color copy of my photo with gel matte medium and let it dry overnight, face down, on an 8″ x 10″ framed canvas. The image came out fairly clear so I didn’t need to do a second transfer like I did on my first one. After […]

My first Christmas project of the year! I sculpted two angel wings out of Sculpey UltraLight clay. Then I took a 6″x6″ canvas and covered it with fiber paste just like I did with these smaller canvases. I pressed the words “Tidings of Joy” into the paste while it was […]
