In my last post, I showed how I painted around the edges of the wrapped canvas for the 2nd painted mirror. The 1st mirror was wrapped with a covered black fabric onto cardboard for the backing..so I didn't need to do anything special. When I finished this piece, which is on a canvas hard panel, I decided to attach it onto a wrapped canvas. But the wrapped canvas and the batting on the edges of the photo frame were quite white.
In the past, I have painted onto a wrapped canvas background extending a design. You can see that example here (post about process is here).
This was for a gift, so I can't take a picture of the sides but the leaves extend on to the sides of the canvas.
I figured I'd have to do something similar with the yellow leaf frame piece.
So out comes the paints again! And back to cutting a leaf from the hosta plant. I painted the leaf and stamped it on to my smallest geli plate then used the geli plate to stamp on the sides of the canvas.
It's hard to see but I also took a small paint brush and painted areas where the batting was showing white when I attached to the canvas.
This is hanging in Bob's bathroom. It looks quite nice on the wall.
But let's see if he notices it! HA He better because it's hung above the toilet! HA
