Working on a recycled canvas and staying with that theme I am using recycled bits of paper, lace, earings, string, wire, plastic rings, tags, knitting needles and anything else I can find. Following through with a theme often used by
Finnabair which basically means you don't throw anything away and then you rummage through boxes of stuff and glue it down.
6 Mr Da Vinci's all in a row. Completed and posted for the atc swap. I used a quote attributed to him "Learning never exhausts the mind." Well ... he was a genius. I on the other hand often have an exhausted mind but, Leonardo and I are back on speaking terms. Thanks to everyone for suggestions. I am holding out on the gears as the next atc swap is steampunk. I need all the gears I can get.
Off to the wonderful world of WOYWW.
Your canvas is looking good and well done you with the ATCs.

Already love the look of your canvas - like all that white space - and I'm a great fan of recycling so like all your bits and bobs too. If 'learning does not exhaust the mind' how come I was always falling asleep in the library at uni :) Happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #105
ReplyDeleteOh I am so excited to see more of that recycled canvas. So pretty already. Very inspirational. Lord knows, I have a lot that can be recycled in my craft supplies.
ReplyDeleteLove the divinci's very cool idea. Thanks for sharing your pretty art pieces.
I am a very bad girl today, I didn't post a link to my site because I didn't have much to show so no worries if you visit my site. It's not stopping me from snooping!

Everything is looking good on your desk. love the start of your canvas and it's a shame to part all those Da Vincis as they look great all together... move over Andy Warhol!!
ReplyDeleteLove JoZarty and thanks for calling in on me. xxx
WOW That canvas is looking amazing already, imagine when it's finished!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to share..

Hi Sandra thanks for popping to visit - I will definitely post a picture of the finished frames. Glad to see you got your mojo back and finished your ATCs - they look great. Your canvas already looks fab and to think it is all bits and pieces that could so easily have been thrown away. I look forward to your finished photo too. WOYWW Hugs to you from Helen 15
ReplyDeleteThat canvas is lush! Love it. I used to do a few canvases but haven't done them for ages. They are great fun to do aren't they :).

That canvas is going to be so good and you can be justifiably proud of it by saving all those little bits from the bin. Great atc's but I'm in agreement about the often exhausted mind!

I love the white background against all the gorgeous bits and pieces - that's going to be soooooo beautiful. I could live with it on my wall, I'm telling you!! Fab ATCs too :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #71 xx
Thanks for stopping by. I love recycling so your canvas is excellent and Leonardo isn't half bad either - LOL. Well Done on getting the ATCs done in the end. Yes it was great to meet Andy Skinner I really had a one-2-one for the first hour or so too.

So glad that you and Leo are back on speaking terms again. I'm impressed with how the ATCs turned out. I can't wait to see you steampunk ones. I love the random bits and pieces on your desk. They are going to look stunning together.
ReplyDeleteWonderful ATCs and well done on the recycling. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your comment. Yes, I'll let WOYWWers know how I get on with the pan pastels. Thanks for sharing your workspace. Hope you have a good week. Hazel WOYWW #8 x
ReplyDeleteFabulous ATC's... love them.. Love the white background of your canvas.. I can see this is going to be AmAzing... Hugs May x x x#4
ReplyDeleteLove that idea of not putting things down and just using them. That is the principle of dry stone walling too, I believe. You do not put the piece of stone down but find the right place to fit it in. Thank you for your visit this week. I just wish there were a couple more days in the week. Every time I make a plan, someone finds something else to fill the space instead. Never mind, life is not boring. Have fun with your canvas. xx #102
ReplyDeleteJust my type of art! Recycled! I don't like throwing things away and I love it when I am able to use something that would usually be thrown away! Patsy
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we're in for a treat with your canvas and your ATC's look fantastic! ;D
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and visiting my desk earlier ~ Happy WOYWW to you ;D

Lovely lot of bits you've collected for your canvas--maybe we'll see more of that next week? And your atcs turned out wonderful, what a great image and quote!

ReplyDeleteSorry about that, Sandra!

Happy WOYWW! Glad to see the finished Leonardo's! What swap are you in? I am in a couple this month but I don't think it is the same. I love swaps! Hope you have a great week Sandra and thanks for visiting my blog. Vickie #68
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated WOYWW. 6 ATCs! I struggle to make 3 at a time. Ali x #55
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you made your peace with mr. Da Vinci. He looks great.

Happy belated WOYWW!

Good to hear that you and Leo are back on speaking terms, lol! I guess he forgave you when he saw how great the ATCs turned out! I am interested now to see how that canvas will turn out as so far it looks fabulous and I like the idea of using recycled bits!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me earlier!

It's a whole lot more comfortable when pure back on terms with a genius! Must say I like the ATcs very much. Am slightly vexed that if you stick 'found' things on that canvas, you might end up unsticking them when/if you find their pair!!
