Hello everyone!! As you may know, I love making canvases and have made several pieces either for my home decor (rotated every season) or for loved ones. THIS piece is for me...about me. I had nearly every element in my stash that I could think of except one. No matter cause I just LOVE how this turned out. All the supplies are listed below. I'm not really going to explain what I did so much as why a piece is on this board.
The color scheme is even one of my favorites to work with soothing browns, metalliques and a touch of teal.
Roses everywhere - My favorite flower and Rose is my middle name
Steampunk - cause I love making steampunk mixed media
Dragons (even a little guy on the left) - I have always loved any type of fantasy. I love a good book with dragons in it.
Butterfly - I do love butterflies but it also reflects my love of nature. I prefer nature over cities any day.
Single solitary rose - My favorite book is Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey and the main character has a large tattoo of a rose with thorns and blood drops on her back, reflecting her unique nature in the world.
Here is a door with a tiny fairy and mushroom nestled into the corner. I have little pieces of fantasy all over this steampunk piece.
Book - I love to read. Especially fantasy.
Playstation controller - I have always played Final Fantasy using the Playstation...all the way back to Playstation 2.
XV (behind the book) - Tribute to Final Fantasy - my favorite game
And here is my tiny unicorn!!! I love unicorns so much that my family has started buying little gifts with unicorns on them again. Have you seen "The Last Unicorn"?
Dog - I love dogs, especially Shih-Tzus. My two dogs right now are Sky and Cassie. Plus I needed something on there for my 20 year career as an RVT. I'm a medical coder now, but veterinary medicine is my first love.
Swords - Tribute to fantasy and also that I love martial arts. Couldn't quite find what I wanted for this piece but I do have swords thanks to Katy Sue Designs.
Thanks for stopping by today!!!
