I've been in a funk recently and I'm getting out of it. I'm one of those people who just go blank when I'm a little down. I love those people who can work their way out of the blues by picking up a paint brush, but no matter how hard I try, I just end up staring at the paper or canvas. Weird!
But.......it's time to snap out of it. I pushed my way thru my Picasso piece a few days ago and I'm going to keep going.
Here we go..........................
Thanks for watching.

Today, we have a mixed media piece, using a double canvas, Gel Press prints, and an Elephant Stencil.
My friend picks up canvases for me at thrift stores. This one is really two canvases attached. It was one of those printed canvases that you see at Kirklands, TJ Maxx, Target, etc. I like to get used canvases and gesso over them....which is what I did here.
About a year ago, I discovered Diane Salter on Pinterest. She is fantastic. I thought I would try something kind of Diane Salter-esqe. You will see that mine turns out kind of "wak", but, hey, they can't all be winners.

I mentioned in the video that I would explain the "elephant" a little better. However, I forgot to take some "still" shots. Anyway, this is what I did.
I used an elephant mask from StencilGirl, traced around in on a piece of paper, made a, reduced, copy on cardstock, so that it would fit the canvas. I drew lines, dividing up the elephant, cut them out and number them. Then, using the cut up pieces at stencils, I cut the shapes out of Gel Press prints (and numbered them on the back). This made it easier to piece the elephant together on the canvas. I hope that this makes sense. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
