Altered Canvas Projects

Hi Gang Hope everyone is having a good week.
OK just to let you all know what I'm working on at the moment ... I'm working on some large canvases one for my Sister in law Karen and one for my Brother then I hope to create one for myself ... these canvases are sort of themed and will mean something to the persons they are for :o) ... Mine will be a glimpse of my inner self NOT in a narcissistic way but rather a clue into the kind of art I really like and how I see things :o) ahhhh Deep or what ...
So Keep an eye out for the first one, which should be done for the end of the weekend.
Sorry there are no Photos to share at the moment but I'm giving no clues as to what the canvases are about till they are done .. 
Wishing everyone a great day tomorrow and a great weekend to come xx
Stay safe keep it crazzzzy and keep on crafting ..

Altered Mask

Hi Everyone Hope today finds you all well, 
thought I would do an altered mask today and while working on it I found that mixing certain things gives weird effects so as to add texture, I found that if you mix a bit of texture paste with a squirt of PVA glue it goes very gummy and stringy if you use an old brush to mix it and then apply it you can stretch it.. (Practise this as its very sticky ) Also if you are using a hot glue gun save the drippy bits I used some of this over the right eye of the mask, painted it and then added some Inca gold cool effects.
I will use this to do some weird texture on book covers and altered bottles, cant wait to get stuck in with it ... Let me know what ya all think, Its my first mask so please be kind LOL ..
Huge hugs to all my followers xx 
catch ya soon ... Mark.
