Hi everyone, I have a 3UP post over here on the PaperArtsy blog tonight. I was absolutely delighted to get another chance to do one. Please do hop across and have a look at the other wonderful 3 UP projects as well.
I got to use the new blues I had and created a box canvas...and it was literally a box that I covered with canvas because I couldn't find the size I wanted. I coated it with gesso after I had added some grunge paste around the sides and a section in place of the missing domino!
As I've explained on the PA blog, I wanted to have a go at a miniature project and had these teeny weeny dominoes saved from Christmas crackers. There about 2.5 x 1.25cm.
They all had a coat of blue oyster fresco after sanding them lightly.
I'll briefly explain what I used on each one so if we are working our way across from left to right, the top row is 1-6, middle is 7-12, bottom 13-17.
