I really had fun making this 11x14 mixed media canvas. I started out with red & orange soft body acrylic, then randomly stenciled on some letters in various sizes. The big splatters & drips happened by accident but I thought they looked cool so I decided to keep them.
I used a white Pen-touch pen to write in:
Don't Live Down to Expectations, Go out there and do something REMARKABLE
&
The greatest Pleasure in life is Doing what people say you can't do.
Both sentiments came from some Cosmo Cricket scrapbook paper I had in my stash.
I cut the letters from Cosmo Cricket Get Happy, Strip Tease and glued them on with Mod Podge. I also did some random stamping, misting and added a rubon. I'm pretty happy with the grungy urban vibe of this piece.
Thanks for stopping by!
very coo!
