Recently a friend was going through a divorce. I wanted to let her know that the situation would eventually get better. She is moving into a new place and these are the colors she is hoping to use. So I thought she could use this little piece in her new place. To create this piece I started with a 6×6 canvas. I coated it with a slurry of gesso and Dye-Na-Flow to create the mottled effect. Using The Crafters Workshop stencils and texture paste I created a raised effect on the clocks. I added brown ink on top to emphasize the dimension. Jacquard makes a printable Inkjet Cotton that works fantastic. I used a variety of the Duetica Floot font to print the sentiment. I chose Floot since I could create the sentiment that closely resembled my handwriting. I printed it, cut it out and then I diluted the Dye-Na-Flow to make a watercolor effect. The fabric is adhered with Fabri-Tac. A clay heart was inked and cracked then glued upon the canvas. Chipboard and a button were added to complete the design.
