This canvas is still a work in progress. I hope to finish it over the long weekend.
It gave me the opportunity to show you how I use Envirotex Lite as both a glue and glaze for mixed media pieces.
The book features an orchid I dried this summer. The pale blue was the orchid special colour.
I used Envirotex Lite to adhere my metal embellishment to the book.
Then I used it to glaze and permanently seal my orchid.
I even glued the book to the canvas with Envirotex Lite!
The fun part was painting a thick layer of Envirotex Lite over the canvas in several places. I dropped Stampendous Fragments into that resin and let it cure overnight.
The next morning I was able to brush away any extra flakes.
The rest is beautifully embedded!

ReplyDeleteI love this! How big is the canvas? Does the book open with anything on the pages??
ReplyDeleteI have plans to dabble in journaling and mixed media this year. I hope I can find inspiration from this blog (no problem there) that I can relate to my experiences and translate into a journal!
Thanks for even more inspiration!
Hi Chris, the book is permanently closed. The canvas is a great size...7 1/2 by 15 1/2...so may ideas!
