It's not quite Monday anymore, but we had a busy weekend with camping for both cub scouts and girl scouts. So, after recovering from the weekend, I'm finally getting around to posting for Scrapscene's WIP Monday.
So, this past weekend Tom took the boys, who ended up staying up in a tent close to midnight (apparently one wouldn't turn out a flashlight) while I had about half of our Brownie troop at encampment all day long (emphasis on the long...)
And here's Rachel in her "yellow" outfit. She's now into dressing in all one color family - not that she matches any better....
The arts and crafts was a bit hit with Rachel. And they thought the "99 Things to do with Bandanas" was fun - so much so that quite a few of them went around with "slings" on their arms the rest of the day.
Sunday Thomas had his first fencing competition. It was a practice one run by VAF to give kids who are interested in competing a taste of what competion is like. He came in fourth in his age group, wasn't happy about not winning more bouts, but hopefully had a good learning experience. And I learned that I should've brought the camera with us.... the iPhone just doens't cut it sometimes.
And after a much needed rest.... I turned my attention to this canvas I'd had laying around. The background was made by layering strips of book paper - all pretty much horizontally. I decided to use this as a my guina pig for testing the image transfer so I added some color to the background, mostly with various Golden fluid acrylics.
Monday I went to Staples to see if they could print out a photo in 12x12 size for me to use on one of the larger canvases. After causing the printing desk staff much consternation, I finally got two copies of my photo.
So here's where I'm at. I just added a bit more paint to my canvas. When it's dry I'm going to do an image transfer with Golden Matte Medium. The paper's quite thin, so we'll see what happens.
