Little Monsters...

" Mum...here's the quote I want you to put on the canvas I want you to make...." Er, what? Nothing else forthcoming...no colours, sizes, images, themes.....fabulous. Just the kind of commission I love...not!!!!
So, armed with that brief...I made this....
I started off with a box canvas, and created a background with paints in green, turquoise, black and purple. Lots of smearing, stencilling, printing and stamping.....
I used button stacks as feet....
And a  flower under a door knob as a topper...
When it came to an image, I was a bit stumped. The quote (from Harry Potter) seems to suggest whoever is saying it isn't human......so putting a human figure on there as I normally do didn't seem right. In the end i decided on these adorable monsters from Stamping Bella!
My 'customer' arrived back from college and approves, so all is well!!! phew!!!
Love Trish xxxxx

  2. It's stunning Trish. The feet and the flower door knob topper are amazing. The colours work so brilliantly together - you do this better than anyone! I'm also liking your little creatures in the bottom corner too!
