napkin art canvas
As I said last week...my muse has taken a vacation the past few months but visited long enough to inspire me to do this....I used a flat canvas, covered in paper, adhered face image, decorated with cutouts from various napkins, then stamped vine and leaf images with distress inks...all in all...I'm happy with the result....
hmmmmmm....there seems to be a flash glare around her forehead and face...sorry!

Outstanding! (did I see this technique in a Somerset mag? I love your version!!!)
You did a great job of coordinating the colors - it really is very nice!

Wow! That's super pretty!
Re: napkin art canvas
Oh pretty! Now I wish I'd bought all of those napkins I saw last weekend at the party shop!
Re: napkin art canvas

Re: napkin art canvas
nice to see your mojo again!! Love the art, you did an awesome job
Re: napkin art canvas
Beautiful job with the cutting and collaging, Ruth Ann!
Re: napkin art canvas
Makes me think of the Mona Lisa. Love the cutting job. Your napkins came out great. I have tried it last week and all I got was a mess with a lot of wrinkles on the napkin. Yours came out very smooth. Love the face!
Re: napkin art canvas
I found that the napkins adhere more smoothly when the background has the adhesive put onto it instead of trying to glue over the napkin..I then smoothed it down with my finger....
Re: napkin art canvas
Thanks Ruth Ann, will give that a go. There are such lovely napkins out there nowadays! thx ;o))
