Mixed Media Canvas from April’s Member Livestream

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

I finished up the piece I started during April's Member Livestream by adding a bit of hand stitching.

I guess the stitching on my small quilt pieces is "catching." ;)  

In all seriousness, I think it makes sense that all the different projects I work on influence each other. Why wouldn't they?!

You can see that I added both french knots and simple running stitches.

I used one of my favorite stencils, Cut Outs…

…and you can see that it looks like a lovely botanical here:

I also used my "Croquet" Art Foamie…

In fact, there's a lot of visual texture packed into this little (8×8) canvas!

I really like the loose feeling of this piece.  I can definitely see some of the influence of my recent 100 Day Project here too!  I'm feeling like it's time to size up and go for some really big pieces!

Thanks for stopping by!
