A Window To The Soul....

Our new Relics & Artifacts line by Sandra Evertson is making HUGE waves! It's unique and beautiful, and opens up your imagination to so many coloring possibilities. Think of each piece as a blank canvas calling YOUR name! Are you going to answer?

 

Two of our amazing designers answered the challenge! Each chose the "Visage" set, shown above, to play with. While both projects are simply GORGEOUS, they really show just how versatile each Relics & Artifacts piece can be!

 

"I created this canvas using minimal embellishments with the focus on this wonderful Visage cast. For the canvas background I've used Heavy Gesso, a vintage Prima brick wall stencil(!), and Modeling Paste..."

"...adding in colours with acrylic paint, Prima watercolor pencils, and ink. I added some further texture with White Sand Texture Paste applied randomly onto the bricks." ~Fran Westmoreland

"Who hasn't been inspired by Finnabair's collages and how you can include Relics and Artifacts inside your artwork. This is exactly what I did here in this mixed-media, three-paneled canvas titled, "A Window To the Soul.""

 

 

"I wanted to have one of the Visage Relics and Artifacts pieces the centre, and focus, of my canvas."

 

 

"Then it was just a matter of adding texture to the background, and using many different embellishments to create a vertical flow thorough the canvas. I used old doilies and lace, I used drywall tape, resins, metals, and, of course, flowers." ~Keren

Seriously, how amazing are those transformations? Fran & Keren took my breath away with their creativity! With a little gesso, and a little color via watercolor pencils, acrylics, and ink, the Visage pieces were turned into artwork for the home! What would YOU do with them?

These are just lovely! I love how adaptable the Relics and Artifacts are! They look incredible on a canvas and fantastic as jewellery! You can create something aged or cutting edge and they look perfect whatever you add or however stripped back the project. I'm crazy about R and As - I expect you can tell! xxx
