Meet Aunt Ermintrude's niece Louise ..... the story behind this canvas, poor Louise is left wondering whether or not aunt Ermintrude will leave her any money, after all she is her only niece!
I have wanted to experiment in creating more texture, depth and layers to my canvas work, so after oodles of several different texture pastes, seed beeds, moss (yes moss lol), scrunched up cup cake cases , Glimmer Mists and Moon Glow sprays, I then had to patiently wait for everything to dry ( this is not my strong point i must add) and with a little help from a friend, encouraging me to be patient, here is the end result. I'm fairly pleased with the result.
This also fits is with this weeks challenge at This Thursday.
