Mollie is Done!

I finished my newest fish Mollie yesterday.  When I'm painting on canvas, I use many of the same surface design tools that I use on fabric.  This one is no different. I used a bunch of different stencils amongst the layers of both the background and within Mollie. Some of the stencils I used are below.



I love stencils and I use them interchangeably for quilting , painting and printing. I get them from all different sources including (but not limited to) joggles, artists cellar, stencil girl, the crafters warehouse,  and I even make my own.

This one was designed by my friend Terri Stegmiller and I love it!

I took lots of photos between adding layers so you could see the process.  










Now that she's done, on to the next project which is finishing up my first challenge piece for my new art group. That reveal will be Oct 1st.
