This is a small 4 x 4 canvas collage I did recently. I found this sweet vintage image and it led me to using beeswax and Shiva Paintsticks. I've been doing a lot of "lab" work with Shiva Paintsticks, recently, and have found a new love. They are wonderful with papers as well as exciting applications on fabric. No muss, no fuss, no clean up!! This little collage will ultimately have a hanging "thingie" on it to go through the eye screws on top. I incorporated vintage lace and the sides are done using stamped modeling paste and colored in with what else? Shiva Paintsticks! :)
