My dear bloggy friend
and I challenged each other to a canvas swap...
Now, I'm new to creating with a canvas
...so was a little nervous about this swap !
..and especially has Martina is soooo talented.
-oOo-
..and this is what Martina sent to me...
Steampunk Debutante
I LOVE it !!
...beautifully designed with Graphic 45 papers
The frame has a gorgeous texture and colour...
more beautiful embellishments.... steampunk cogs
...and I love what martina has done with the rosette, cog and spinner :)
..a truly inspiring piece of art !!
Martina, you are definately are the
Queen of Steampunk !!
Thank you so much !
-oOo-
..and this is what I created for Martina...
Some...
Shabby Dancers
'Dance like no one is watching'
for my background I collaged some vintage papers, music sheets with some white gesso.
... the owl is cut from an old postcard
added some, lace, tickets, clip, dymo words, vintage buttons
and a optical lens for his monacle.
The girl images I received as part of an inspiration swap earlier this year.
The little vintage prima ballerina I painted black to compliment the other colours.
I've been on a bit of a card making spree just lately, so also made a special one for Martina

Thank you again Martina for a fabulous Swap !
It's been FUN

Thanks for Looking !

Hi Jan! Love your "Dance" piece and card! Beautiful! You always have the best ephemera and goodies to create with! Lucky you to rec the steampunk girlie too! Awesome!

Oh Smiff, both are wonderful pieces. I think you did a fab job with your first canvas, I just finished one myself Asian of course.
Take care and can't wait to see what you did for Colour of Summer tomorrow.

Two fab canvases Jan, and if I were Martina your card would be framed and hung up in my craft room!
Fabulous canvases, love the optical lens on the owl's eye, inspired. Wonderful pieces. Tracy x
Both canvases are just fabulous!!! Each unique and a reflection of the artist who created it! Love it!
Now why didn't I think to paint some of my ballerinas with a black tutu!! Guess what I'm going to be doing LOL
These are BOTH absolutely wonderful! I love the colours and texture of Martina's, it really is a work of art. And yours - I love the idea of dancing like no one is watching (no one would want to be watching me, believe me!), and the owl with the 'monocle' is superb! He is a brilliant touch. The card you made for Martina is SO lovely, and very 'you'.

Cool swap! Both canvases are so beautiful!
The ballerina canvas and the vintage card are mine now! I'm so happy! It`s even more gorgeous in "Natura" and I've also found a nice place to hang on the wall. Thanks again, dear Jan!
Superb swap! I'd hang them both on my wall!! totally fab! so many details and I find myself going back for a second look! Mx
