I CUT UP and MELTED My Stencils

Hi Everyone!
This post is not for the faint of heart.
I'm sharing a design team project I created for The Crafters Workshop. You can see the link to the full post at the bottom.
 
I'm in a get rid of junk mood and found that I had two of the same stencil, Flower Frenzy.
 
The Crafters Workshop provided me with the stencils and mediums to create this project.
The opinions I share are solely my own because I do love to use them.
 

 
 I cut up the stencil and then used my heat gun (in a well ventilated room) slowly heat the plastic so the flowers would curl. I then painted them with varies shades of acrylic paints.
  
 
 
 
When everything was dry I attached them to the canvas.
 
 
 
 I have tons of glass beads so I also added them to the flowers and canvas.
 
 
Here is the finished piece.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Stay tuned for another FINDING ART post next week!

Not Enough Time for All the Ideas in My Head!

Hi Everyone!
I'm having the worst time getting anything done.
So many art ideas written down and when I start nothing is going my way.  My head, heart and hands and all going in different directions.
 
I wouldn't say I'm in funk and not creating anything. Just too many ideas to into one project.
 
So I've been walking away from my art studio and trying to purge the house of all the crap.
 
So I thought I would share with you some of my design team projects for The Crafters Workshop that I keep forgetting to share them here (links to tutorials under the picture). 

Hopefully they will give you some inspiration!

I've been challenged to use a particular stencil, which is so outside my comfort zone, to create a piece of art on TCW's blog on May 11th.  Don't forget to check it out!!
