Wild Flower Canvas and Garden Cushions


I reused a canvas for this. It had melted wax crayons dripped on it which were set, so I scraped it off. I created texture by using an old tube of lumpy acrylic paint, I'd cut the end off the tube to get to the paint. I then painted over it several times mainly because I didn't like the colour until I got this purple-blue. I painted on the flowers with a brush.





This is the canvas before adding the flowers although the colour doesn't look quite right.


Also this week I made some cushions for my daughters outdoor bench. It is one of my own fabric designs and I'd bought the fabric a while ago for a project and then didn't use it. There wasn't enough fabric to do both sides so I used something else for the undersides. I forgot to take a picture of the cushions on the actual bench.
