WOYWW has arrived. If you don't know what "WOYWW" is all about go over to Stamping Ground. A big shout out to Julia for making this happen every week!
Yikes! Someone called to look at the condo so I had to pick everything up and hide it all. But right after they left I took some of my stuff back out to continue working on my canvas.
I'm very happy with how the canvas is coming to life. The paint color is sky blue with some white added to it. I can't help but love the turquoise look to it. As the title of this post says -- where are my acrylic paints......
 |
| Yay - my acrylic paints!!! Found them at the very back of the closet! |
Here's a few photos of the canvas transformation. The first photo shows the canvas painted with blue paint and then I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad to add the brown (I couldn't find my acrylic paints at this point.) Unfortunately the brown pigment smeared when I glued down the birdies so I used a baby wipe to clean it up a bit.

| You can really see the texture from the tissue paper. |
 |
| Not crazy about all the birds at the bottom..... |
I haven't glued down the birds on the love line (haaa) yet. I might replace the bird on the left with a bolder pattern - we'll see. I also need to add some more color and fuss up the birds a bit. It's almost done though.
Like always, I will visit those that end in the same number as me and also those of you that visit me (please leave your number). Thank you so much for visiting. When there's well over 100 (usually closer to 200) participating I know how difficult it is to get around to visit everyone.

I like your bird canvas! Some lovely colours there and they look cute sitting on the branches.

Yes I think I would change the leftie too (or outline in some way) , great canvas and the love line is a super touch. Happy WOYWW BJ#4
ReplyDeletewoo hoo, look at you #2! You almost made it in the ace slot! Closer than I've ever got though! I'll put in my 2 cents worth on the lower left bird, I think it needs to be the same pattern as one of the birds on the top line as the bird on the bottom right is the same paper as the bird on the top, yes? And I love how you have the 2 bottom birds on the word love, very clever chick! waving hi from th hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat canvas, I'm #10 this time sometimes forget to do that. Enjoyed your visit last week, I had major computer problems so didn't get around but peeped about and so much enjoy visiting. Glad to know I'm not the only one who pops things here and there when someone stops by. Happy WOYWW and enjoy the week.
ReplyDeleteI love your canvas, I would leave the birds just as they are, your work is great.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW

The canvas is looking good...now I have a mental picture of you hiding everything before they came! teehe
ReplyDeleteUnder the bed has good hiding places!
Me again...forgot to say # 25 Scrappymo!
ReplyDeleteAgree about the bird, needs to be a bit bolder to my eye but it is a lovely canvas and very pretty colours. Your acrylics look like a mini rainbow and remind me that I need many more colours in my collection.

very nice I think I am liking the bird canvas! I have had several people at the store ask me about teaching a canvas class...may have to look in to it! Thanks for sharing and have a great week! Vickie #28
ReplyDeleteI love this. I don't paint but you certainly make me wanna try. Happy WOYWW!

LOVE the picture of your paint!! All those luscious colors...just a great pix. Big smile up here in Alaska. The canvas looks very fun. I missed your post last week, so I'm new to this project. Can't wait to see the final rendition. Hope you have a great week.

Firstly, great news about the condo! Fingers crossed etc etc!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I think you should leave the plain bird as it is as not everyone is loud and brash in life and I've often found found that the quietest people/birds have the strongest core! So let it be plain and proud :)
Hugs, LLJ 38 xx
Wow, well done finding the paints. the canvas is looking good. I love the birds as they are... Happy WOYWW, Helen 5
ReplyDeletethose birds are great Kay and i love the background effect
ReplyDeleteGill x
Hi Kay, Love the colours you have used on this canvas, but I agree with you, would change that one birdie for a bolder one. Hugs Mo x (41)
ReplyDeleteOh Kay, this is fab! When I was scrolling down I saw just the rows of birds at first, then I saw the lines and the word love you'd added. It's gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm on the fence (or the wire, ha!!) about the birdie on the left. Jan has a point - life is a mix of less flamboyant folk. Do what YOU think is best. Love your paints, I have just one measly little pot - and it's pink of course! :))
Hugs, Di xx #53
o i LOVE that canvas even just the way it is with no 'fussed up' bits its lovely.

ReplyDeleteThat canvas is fantastic. love the love line (if you know what I mean). I would leave the birds as they are, the plain one is a nice contrast from the others.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Hi Kay the canvas is looking good and I can't wait to see it finished. I love the line. I also have acrylic paint envy - I have a few but would lie some more - more vibrant colours. Happy WOYWW Anne x #99
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I must tray this, your canvas is so cute, I love it.

Your canvas is brilliant - love the 'love line' and the birds are just so cute. Such a bother having to keep the condo tidy for viewers - but you found your paints so all is well :) Have a happy WOYWW. Elizabeth x #58

The canvas is coming along nicely. My friend sends me photos on the phone of her unglued projects all the time. The outcome is never the same. I hope that you get the condo sold so you don't miss place anything else!Tamika #131
ReplyDeleteHi Kay
ReplyDeleteLove the texture on that canvas. Persevere with the birds and you will find the perfect placement for them.
Take care and happy WOYWW.
Hugs, Neet 11 xx
Hi Belinda!! You are so awesome! Thank you so much for your sweet blog comment!!!
ReplyDeleteYou wrote on that comment "Belinda" but above it says "Kay". Which one do I call you? Just want to get it right!!
I was in love with your canvas last week, and I love it even more this week!! Showing off the layers is fabulous, and did you write the word love? your handwriting is fabulous!! It is already amazing, I really want to see it completed!!

I love your bird canvas, glad you found your acrylic paints.
ReplyDeleteCarol.x #60
That is going to be a wonderful piece of art when you finish it. The birds all look great. i can understand the urge to move them around and see how they look everywhere.
ReplyDeleteMonica 125
Wow! It is coming along beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to have a place to hang it after you sell your condo?
I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I am having another Give-Away . . . come on over :)
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
You were quick off the mark this morning! I scheduled my post for just after midnight UK time, but when I got up this morning I almost forgot to go back and link it to Julia's blog!
ReplyDeleteAll those lovely yummy paint colours to work with! The canvas is coming on really well. I don't think it wants too much more added.
Have a great week. Kate x #84
Yes I know the lets hide everything from house hunters well -love those little birdies
ReplyDeleteloely colourful picture.... it would make a great canvas on it's own. I think the birds look fab and so does the love line

Hi Kay, me again! just to let you knoe I have nominated you for the Liebster award for your inspiring work. See my blog for details. Hugs Mo x
ReplyDeleteHey Kay, the image is Lily of the Valley Festive Fairy, you can see the finished card here. I'd offer to send you some stamped images but that's how I got her, in a swap, I don't own the stamp I'm afraid. You're also the third person to like my socks this week..... but there are no socks, just a hat in the making!! What are you all trying to tell me,lol!!
ReplyDeleteHugs

I am late getting round to visit this week, due to life getting in the way. I agree with you about that left hand bird, it needs to be a bit stronger in colour, but that is just my opinion. Thank you for your visit this week. I believe that Copics are much the same as Promarkers. Have a good week. xx Maggie #42
ReplyDeleteYour canvas is looking so gorgeous! I love those birds in all the different colours and the background is lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteHelo Kay! I like to see comments on works on progress when they´re progressing. So, it´s cool to see your birds again this week :D
ReplyDeleteLórien #161
Hi Kay Thanks for popping by - I am catching up with a few visits this evening as things got a bit busy yesterday. I love your canvas and the love line! We will have to have a reveal next week - my fairy your birdies!
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 82
Great news to hear you had a potential buyer! Wayta go! Hope it turns out to be the Big Buyer! Love the canvas, you always have such interesting projects. The colorful birds against that crackled background is going to be awesome. I didn't make it to WOYWW yesterday, knew I wouldn't have time to do reciprocal visits. Sure enjoyed my visit to you today, though, and wishing big success in the near future on your move. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOhhh love your project today! TFS! Happy WOYWW!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along so nicely, Kay! How fun!! Good luck with selling to those people who so rudely interrupted your creativity. The least they could do is buy it!! Darnell #48
ReplyDeleteHi Kay
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the progress with the adorable little birds - I love it. Good luck with the house sale.
Thanks for popping by my blog.

ReplyDeleteBridget #45
Your canvas is a lookin great! I agree with you about the bird on the bottom left! Love how you have layed it out
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit
Hugs Robin
Cute project. It never occurred to me to store paints upside down - I might have to go flip mine.
ReplyDeleteLove your canvas! I know what it's like to have to stash things and then not remember where they are. :-)
ReplyDeleteHeatherM #147
Just doing my Monday morning catch up.
ReplyDeleteOh Kay, I love your canvas with the two rows of birds so I’m pleased to see that you didn’t change it after all. I think the background texture looks amazing too.
Thanks for stopping by this week
Happy Crafting!
