Painting the Merry Mobile - part three

Hi Everybody... Robin here.

My Mojo visited me last night and I painted the background of the Merry Mobile.  I used my 3/8 WASH Brush with only an occasional visit from the 5/0 SPOTTER. Wasn't I a big girl!

First, I began working close to the details.



Then I put on my Artist's Beret and painted the rest of the Background.

 Merry Mobile Ice Cream Truck

It was fun to paint on the canvas. Remember, I am not a trained artist. I'm just a girl on a mission to bring the Merry Mobile Ice Cream Truck to life.

I'll let the canvas dry for a few days while I rummage through my Stash for the best threads.  Have I told you about my Stash? It's quite Healthy.

Looks like this project is ready to take off. Ice Cream for Everyone!

Thanks, Robin

  2. Thanks, Sharon. That really means a lot to me coming from you. I think I am going to embrace some of the "Barely There" stitching techniques.

  3. Hi Robin,
    You did a fantastic job painting this canvas. Not only a great writer of stitch guides now a painted canvas artist. You certainly have a lot of hats to wear with photography, DVD's and newsletter. Cannot wait to see the stitches you have picked for this piece.

  8. Thanks, Jane. I really appreciate all of your encouragement. Currently I am going through my Stash. Haven't found the right things yet, but I'm not at the bottom of the Stash either. This is too much fun!
