Now on to the topic for today. I was looking at the card that I recently did with the sail boat and the ocean sunset. Then an idea hit me. I had to have a brayer about 3 years ago, just because I thought it was a cool item, but I never used it. OK. I didn't really know how to use it until recently. I found some videos on line and watched and watched, and re-watched. So after practicing on a bunch of scrap paper I had the hang of it. That is when I decided to put it to use. I had some canvases stored away that I bought some time ago for another idea that I had and never did anything with so they just got stored in that place where all the ideas go. You know what I am talking about, everyone has that drawer or box that we just put all those items that we had to have for some project and then never got to them. I do at least. So, I dug those canvases out and wiped the dust off the package and got started. I took the card that I recently did and laid it out for me to look at. Got out all the ink colors that I needed and my new friend the brayer and I just went for it. I began layering colors on the canvas and it felt great to see an image come to life. I had so much fun creating this wonderful piece of art that can be hung up on a wall somewhere for all to see. I do not know what took me so long to pull that brayer out and to learn how to use it. So, with that said I guess I need to pull some of those other wonderful little gadgets that I just had to have and learn how to use those as well. There is no telling what I could create.
So my canvas is done and ready to hang up somewhere. So until next time.
