Canvas I created, using one pair of my old slippers, which are a memory, to treasure for me...
I was inspired, by canvascorpbrands March mood board, spring time...
CCB Challenge March 2017
 
This is how, I created it:
 
I applied modeling paste, together with, natural sand and white school glue on the canvas surface...
All around, I used a brick stencil with modeling paste...
Attached the slippers and covered them, with white school glue; in the inside part, I glued down, some cotton...
 
I started to colour, using metallic acrylic gold and acrylic vermilion...
I glued down, some macro and micro artstones, some pieces of faux green...
 
I used some metal embellishments, cloth flowers, plastic leaves, more faux green and crystal wired balls..
I painted them, using: gesso, acrylic colours (scarlet, vermilion, orange, lemonyellow, yellowmid, yellowdeep, green, burnt sienna, brown); magic clolours (turchoise, orange, light pink); galactic metallic pink

I added, a bird, next to the squirrel...
The letters are, pieces of chipboard that, I attached over, tiny, foam pieces; glued down to the canvas...
And coloured everything, with the paints, I have mentioned above...
Finally, I sprayed everything, with bright, protective enamel...
 
 
I am also, presenting my creation, for these challenges:

  16. What a fun way to alter your slippers (mine just hit the garbage when they wear out). They look like they are nestled in the garden just waiting for all the flowers to grow up around them. Thanks for joining us at Frilly and Funkie.
    Hugs!
