Create Canvas....

My craft room is now to a point where I can work in it again. There's still a few things to finish, but those don't impede me creating.

Today, I have a mixed media canvas using DecoArt Media products.  I only used two colors of media paint and one Interference color to create this project!

When I sat down to do this canvas, I had no plan....  That's why I LOVE mixed media!  I make an initial decision on colors and possible mediums I want to use and I just let the paint or ink flow....

For instance, when I made my initial color selection, I had reds and oranges pulled in addition to the turquoise and purple I had picked.  I also had different stencils picked and sand paste on my craft table that I had intended to use.  It's ok to change your mind!  :)
