"Little Blue Girl"
4 x 4 Canvas Panel
I found the coolest set of canvas panels - all 4 x 4 in size - perfect for tiny moments of inspiration. This week, I'm joining Party with my first, "Little Blue Girl." She started life like this:
Panel covered in decorative paper and a rough sketch before being sanded and sealed with clear gesso.
I then added color with acrylic and Caran D'Ache watercolor crayons, crackle medium, charcoal, oil pastels, Stickles glitter and a bedazzled butterfly.
Thanks for looking! I'll see you at the Party . . . .

You know I'm partial to butterflies so this is definitely one of my favorites that you've done, it looks a lot bigger to me so you've really packed a lot of visual punch in that small space! Awesome! :)
