This post is for all the folks who have said 'I can't do that'. My desk this week is simple .........

My first canvas.
I have wanted to do this for so long but never had the courage to go and purchase the equipment just in case I couldn't do it and wasted all the money. This week an old sim card holder was 'found' so I knew it was just what I wanted to apply the paint.
Over the last few months I have been 'collecting' bottles of acrylic paint and storing them in my cat food boxes, the outer neatly covered of course.
I have a large paper pad in my stash and while I have been stamping and trying out my paints I covered the desk with one of the sheets of paper. The sheet is a little larger than the box which is ideal, so all the 'wipe offs' and stamp offs are now looking at me!I remembered buying a canvas pad some time ago but where have I put it? This morning I sorted out the canvas pad, taped a sheet down to my work top and with paints and card ..... I cannot explain the feeling when I look at this ..............
It is sooo vibrant IRL!
WHO can't?!?!
Have a good week everyone, I hope you have your own happy dancing moment like me.
Sorry I missed you on Tuesday - will be there next time. Good to see you have finally got to grips with the canvas - thing cant be bright enough for me. I too have lots of bits that I have yet to play with. Jackie 14 xxx
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, Christine...sometimes, we're so bad at saying 'I can't' when we should be saying 'Let's have a go'. I'm the world's worst for doing that, so have taken encouragement from your post today.

good on you for having a go at something new, what is the worst thing that could happen? The world wont stop turning. Sometimes we are are own worst enemie.butterfliecrafter#12
ReplyDeleteWell done for having a go, Christine. That's brilliant. Looks really good! We are only too ready to believe the voice which says "I can't" - good for you not to believe it!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. It was indeed good to get out and about - the jobs can wait!! We looked, but didn't see Moses hiding in any of the ponds and rushes! It was great that John was actually up to it. I think the wifely physio is doing some good. Can't see any bruises....
Take care. God bless you.

Fabulous colours and well done on giving it a go. Have a wonderful week of crafting. Linda #48
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first canvas! I love the deep texture it has and the colors you used are great! I know what you mean about that little voice that says "I can't". I think we all have our doubts about certain things in our lives, whether it be a particular craft or daily activities.
ReplyDeleteI'm not participating this week but thought I'd stop by to see what you've been up to!
Hugs,
Kay
Your canvas looks great!

ReplyDeleteWow - the canvas looks great - you are right to be pleased with yourself. Continue with the happy dancing :-) Lizzie J #35
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, yes, I too am not a fan of the spring show. I went this year for the first time in a long while, and it was just as poor as I remembered. What annoys me is that the show is barely a quarter the size of the Christmas one, yet they still charge the same entry fee. Good luck with the canvas!Have a great week, hugs, Shaz #7 xx
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic. Sometimes you just have to jump right in and have a go.
