I am soooo excited we have been given the go ahead to start sharing our 2012 Spring release work with you! Anyone who knows me knows I love *LOVE* mixed media canvases. Clear Scraps makes large and small word expressions that I fell in love with. I decided to create an 18 x 24 canvas with four of the new Clear Expressions word titles; Faith, Love, Live, and Laugh.

This has been my largest canvas made to date!
It was such a joy to create.
Here are a few close ups.
For the word Faith, I used this gorgeous liquid acrylic paint called Liquitex in Gold. It's a pigment opaque ink so I actually had to 'bake' it on with my heat gun. I was just patient and heated it up a little at a time, because if you leave the heat directly on the acrylic, it will bend and start to lose its shape. It really took no time at all.
Not only did I mask the canvas, I added photos behind the large acrylic word expressions and masked where the photo left off. If you could see close up, you can see the canvas in areas behind the acrylic words.
Acylic paint has about the same amount of drying time on acrylic as it does on paper... and the Acrylic word expressions handle rubs on beautifully. They go together like peanut butter and jelly!
I hope you have enjoyed seeing four of the new word expressions on my canvas! Below is the hopping order, so be sure to head over to the fabulous and creative Rita's blog next!
