Vintage Canvas

Some while ago I made this "painting", clearly inspired by Donna Downey's poppies. But it din't like me so much.
So, I decided to revamp it. I loved the texture but not the poppies and the purple.

Qualche tempo fa avevo dipinto questo canvas, ispirandomi ai famosi papaveri della Donna Downey. Ma non ne sono mai stata convinta. Cosi' ho deciso di ...alterarlo!

To avoid wasting too much gesso or acrilyc paint to cover the poppies, I glued down to the canvas some pieces of magazine, book pages and music sheet.
Ho ricoperto i papaveri con dei pezzi di giornale e spartiti musicali.

I covered it with gesso.
L'ho ricoperto di gesso.


I laid down some pieces of lace and I sprayed with golden and pink mist ( but since it was too pink, I cleaned the background with a baby wipe)

L'ho spruzzato con dei mist usando dei pizzi come stencil, ma poi l'ho ripulito perche' era troppo rosa.

I stamped it with black Stazon and Pumice Stone Distress ink.
L'ho stampato qua e la':

I glued down the pieces of lace and I added the image from a vintage magazine :
Ci ho incollato i pizzi e una immagine vintage:

Much better!
