I’m very lucky to have met LuAnne Payne, Raleigh Arts and Crafts Examiner. She is such a delightful person, and she wrote the nicest review of my blog which you can read here.
Not only does she write very well, she crafts very well with Mod Podge. I loved one of her projects and so I share it with you here. It’s pictured above, and it’s one of the best canvases I’ve ever seen. I asked her how she did it, and this is what she wrote:
“I used a 4″x5″ stretched canvas. For the background I just used squares of decorative paper and glued them on the canvas with Mod Podge (of course!) to create a mosaic effect. I sealed the background papers with Mod Podge, then I painted over that and wiped away some areas of the paint so the design from the paper could show through. I drew the bird with permanent black ink. You probably already know this, but the Mod Podge keeps the paint from absorbing into the paper – - then you can use a wet paper towel to remove some paint before it dries. That is a Basic Grey rub on.”
LuAnne writes great reviews too, so check out what she said about Basic Grey rub ons here.
Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.
That is way cute! I just love all the ideas on your blog. I have to tell you my dad is visiting and I’ve had him help me with a few mod podge projects and showed him your blog. Now he wants to do some mod podging when he gets home
Oh, that is just fabulous! Love the colors…. Beautiful!
That is so cool! I don’t think I’m talented enough to do this one!
