Canvas Samples

Canvas Sample Boards

(For the second time of asking - still haven't got used to this new layout for creating my blog.) Busy old day creating a background sample canvas showing various ways of applying inks, crayons and paints to cover a canvas before working on it. Doesn't look much but hopefully it will be beneficial to my class when they're looking for inspiration in April. Have also started another sample showing various fun techniques that can be used on a canvas to decorate it. Well, I've been having fun anyway!!
First up the background sample - image of the second canvas sample to follow....

Would you believe there are 24 different methods of applying ink and crayons and pencils and paints on this sample board - and that's just the start - guess we really are only limited by our imagination....

This isn't easy at all

I have no idea what I am doing with this blog - it's all a huge learning curve for me but no doubt I'll get there in the end.
Guess I shall just have to keep playing around with layout etc. and see what happens - have decided to call my blog 'Vintage Crafting Frog' blogspot as it appeals to my love of all things vintage with crafting....

Canvas Class

Have offered to lead our Totnes Scrappers class in April - we're going to have some fun making a canvas each. So at the moment I've been trawling the web searching for inspiration and ideas to share with my fellow scrappers. Will post some samples here once I've made some - planning to show various techniques on small sample canvases, so will be back once I've got something to show. It's been a long while since I last stood before a class so there's a mixture of nervousness and anticipation of excitement to come - just love getting messy with paint and stuff...
