This was the perfect choice for teaching Canvas Collage because the

was small (by my standards at least) . . . . "

" . . . I added
phototransfer flowers from photos of a beautiful bouquet from my daughter
Debbie and family. I mixed threads, used beads and even slightly changed
the format of the painted design.
The colours, shapes and textures of flowers and their leaves fascinate
me. The connections of friendship and family thread their way though
the canvas." |
