Just one of the CREW!

The very first assignment from Canvas Corp Brands, as a new Design Crew Member, was to create a 4x4 canvas that illustrated who I was as a designer. I think this canvas sums it up nicely!

Coffee and paper crafts, what more can I say!

Please go to Canvas Corp Brands to see many other Crew Members personal canvas début as well as participate in this friendly contest!

Buoy Wonder

Growing up in a small fishing village having buoys scattered about everywhere was not an unusual occurrence nor one I thought was anything special.

It wasn't until I moved away from the ocean for a period of time that I understood the symbolism of the buoy....fresh air, salt water, fresh fish and freedom! In fact I found myself photographing them whenever I came across a bunch somewhere.

When my Fisherman neighbour asked if I would have any use for a bunch of hand whittled mini Buoys, of course I said YES! So they've been tucked away until recently. Hope you enjoy their transformation.

Supplies used: Wooden Mini Buoys; "Maritime" Mini Ephemera (7-Gypsies); "Maritime" Variety Pack (7-Gypsies); Tombow Multi Liquid Glue; Distress Inks (Vintage Photo's, Tattered Rose & Weathered Wood); "Abominable Snowman" (Tattered Angels Glimmer spray)' Natural Twine and Metal Embellishments.
