Ok, I have some dreadful news. I am unable to get my scanner to work (it is brand new!). So I am only going to be able to send the original to Cara which will go out in the mail today. I am so sorry. I should have done this earlier instead of waiting till the last darned minute. With the breast biopsy scheduled tomorrow my mind is not there (it is in scared mode) to fiddle with the scanner. I am so sorry ya'll!!!!!! And sad too!!!

cara	11-17-2010 11:20 AM

When i get it, i will take it to work and scan and copy it. No worries. Hugs! ~cara

Diva	11-17-2010 12:05 PM

Ok, Cara....be lookin' for mine soon! :)

OH! I wanted to tell Y'all a neat project I've started.....You know how I'm drawn toward the collage thing, right?

Well....I started wondering whether or not I could do this on canvas...and make it more artsy~fartsy. I researched online and found this was done a lot and it's not difficult!

So this last night, I began one for my daughter for Christmas. I think it's gonna be pretty neat! Maybe I should take shots & post the various stages...I'm having fun with it, for sure! I guess it's time to rip up the carpet in the Girl Room, huh? :eyebat"

Okay I may or may not have forgotten what the heck I am doing... Someone help me out by refreshing my overloaded mind or perhaps just a swift kick in the pants... I got my post cards today as I finally got paid... They will be sent out tomorrow... I apologize in advance... I may or may not be on the verge of tears because I simply forgot...

If you have not already done so, please PM your mailing address to me even if you think I already have it. I will PM my mailing address back to you. (Only a handful of the 14 have done this yet...)
Here are the project "rules" again:

Simple Postcard Swap

In this project, we will be sending postcards about or from the cities in which we live. An acceptable alternative can be a city or cities which we have visited or want to visit. The postcards can be handmade or store bought, and should be a standard size (4x6...no larger than 5x7, please). In the blank space on the back of each card, please write a story, poem, or letter about the place pictured on the front of the card. Be creative! It's okay to "doctor up" store bought cards using any type of material that can be sent through the mail. You will need to send one postcard for every participant in the project. Remember to sign your name somewhere on the postcard so we know who it's from. Please do not worry about including money for postage this round. This is because I am horrible about remembering to include my check and no doubt owe some of you!

I just saw so many examples of it here and there on line...and I thought: I can do this! So I Googled "collage on canvas" and found some techniques.

This particular project is on an 8x10 [CHEAP] canvas from Hobby Lobby. I used [CHEAP] acrylic paints from Wal~Mart. My base color is purple as that's Erin's favorite color. I watered down the paint, started at the top of the canvas and let it dribble down for drama. Then added lime green in places and even painted a little coffee on there, too.

The words, question mark and angry child are either out of a magazine or something I printed on my printer. The vase (bottom left) is more card stock.

I let the paint dry first, then painted the back of the words with Gesso. It acts as a gluing agent. Then I painted over the words/pictures with the Gesso again.....thinly. It dries pretty transparent, as You can see.

The vase is more card stocky and it didn't respond well to the Gesso as glue. It has a tendency to curl a bit. The 'flowers' are just more acrylic, but undiluted, starting in the center and pin-wheeling them out. Stick a stem and some leaves on there and You have easy flowers!

I want another word over the two on the left. Have to find it on file. (I should take a pic of that, too....all the magazine cut-outs I have filed away in a notebook! Alphabetically. Can You say "OCD"!?!?!? <giggling> )

I'll paint the outside edge and then glue ribbon around it and attach a picture hanger on back.

Remember to let things dry between applications. That's the only time-consuming thing there is on this.

If You look to the left <~~~ it says Gallery. Click on that. Then there's an album called "My Art" and click on that. Currently, there's only one picture.....the canvas.

Thanks, Y'all!!!! MWAH!
