Heart canvas


Heart canvas 008, originally uploaded by amaryllisroze.

This piece started as a plain artist canvas. I mounted a paper mache box on the back of the canvas, inside the wood frame then cut a whole in the canvas itself to create the niche.

I covered the whole thing with molding paste, a texture paste and several kind of paint.

The heart is made from celluclay and the corners are some Tim Holtz pieces that I nailed on and banged the heck out of with a hammer.

I really love how it turned and and I'm really glad that I get to keep this one.
