The wishing well for this week at the Craft Barn was a request from Sarah.............................
I have seen a lot of posts around blogland recently which use sticky back canvas. I would love to have an idea what to do or make with it before I buy any!
So I've been having a go, first time I've used this product too. I thoroughly enjoyed playing. This is what I made
Two drawing books for my grand daughters, I used Claudine Hellmuth's sticky back canvas , stamped onto it with memento black and used Copics to intensify the shaded areas. The pink version I painted with Eco green acrylic paints and then embellished with Beadazzels. I cut them out very raggedly and frayed them, I loved the texture of the canvas. The girls loved them too, we went out to the park and they were drawing away happily for the journey, success :0)
I was really surprised how much I enjoyed using the canvas and I'm glad I've got lots left for more projects, I'd like to try it on a rounded surface next. At the Craft Barn Neil has done just that and there are more great samples from the team. TTFN Gay x

The canvas gives a lovely texture to the images. So glad the drawing books went down well :)
Fabulous books Gay - love the flowers and I'm sure your littlies will adore them! We used TH sticky back canvas to cover the books we made at his class earlier this year - it's a great product. Have a happy weekend -

These are gorgeous journal covers, Gay! I'm not surprised your granddaughters loved them. The texture of the flowers on canvas is very inspirational to drawing.
