I am officially calling this canvas "done" as I can diddle around and cover it over in gesso and start over for just about ever. This piece features a number of Fashion Graffiti products by Tulip, ephemera and large punchinella from Gauche Alchemy and techniques learned in the Graffiti Chic course I took from Alisa Burke (by the way, all her classes are 10 dollars off right now).
One neat thing we do around our house is we have an Art in Progress Corner. When someone wants to paint they just grab one of the canvases, work on it and then hang it back up to dry. It's really fun watching the area evolve and the colors change as pieces come and go. Plus, it relieves the pressure of having to finish or (even worse) wanting a painting to be "perfect". The whole concept of "in progress" has really brought back the play aspect of making art.
Hope you have a great weekend :-)
I love the painting in progress Idea. What a fun idea!

I also have to thank you for pointing me in the direction of Pam Carrikers blog the other day with your post. I have had her page constantly open ever since and am just reading and reading and reading. Loving it, can't believe I never heard of her!
