Making Canvases with the Grands
Today was a relaxing play-day in the new, clean studio with two of my grandkids, Victoria, 11, and AJ, 7. We decided to try our hand at making canvases. They are 5" x 7" in size. First we gessoed them, then after drying, added Distress stains and then sprayed the top with water and let them run down. AJ definately had the coolest background! Then after some more drying, we stamped a few background stamps of Tim's and Dyan's in several Archival Ink colors. They had a lot of fun with that. Next we stamped our images of Tim's for AJ's, Dyan's for Victoria's, and Wendy's for mine onto white tissue paper and then adhered it to the canvas with Mod Podge. Dawned on me afterwards, to add some distress ink on a blending tool for some depth so AJ's got that but not mine. LOL, So I added it after the mod podge dried. Then we added some tissue tape and the word tickets on pop-dot foams. They were very pleased with their art and I will be entering mine on the challenge on the Everything Wendy Vecchi group this time where we had to use some canvas and at least one of Wendy's stamps. Still don't have my swaps done but we sure had a fun time making these! There's always tomorrow.......

what talented GRANDS you have! They must have inherited it from YOU!
These are 3 AWESOME canvases!
WELL DONE!
Wow!! Those are FABULOUS canvas's!! I love how you used both Tim & Dyan's stamps, tissue paper & Mod Podge on them, all 3 turned out beautifully!!
I do have to say I am a bit partial to AJ's, love how he used the train theme around it. My great-great grandfather worked & lived for trains, so it brings back many happy stories I had heard about him!!
Kudos to your g.kids and you for making such great art!!
Great job!!!!!
These are wonderful! Sounds like a fantastic day with your creative grands. I love the colors and stamps they chose... they have great taste!

Fabulous way to spend the day.
First, AJ & Victoria are handsome and adorable, in that order. I'm really impressed with their canvases - great work!
These are so cool!!!
And what a great thing to do with the grands! Will have to remember for the next time mine visit.
The apple does not fall far from the tree. What a talented lot you have.
Their work is just as good as some adults wish we could make.
Love the colors and the themes. Everything fits 'just right'.
I hope to see more of their artwork soon.
Great artwork and adorable grandkids!!
How cool are these?!? Fabulous! So colorful and fun...especially for the grandkids!
They're all superb! Lucky you for having grandkids to make art with you!
You all did such a wonderful job! :-)
Those turned out fantastic! All of you have a really artistic side!
Kathy, you have some talented grandkids. I absolutely love crafting with mine. Tell them they did a great job.
In your previous post I saw that you are close to Eau Claire. My husband is from Menomonie.
Have a good day.

No kidding! What a small world Sandy. Black River falls, is where we live and it's bout an hour from us to Eau Claire. My hubby's twin ister lives in Menomonie.
They are all wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell Victoria and AJ what an awesome job they did!!!
OMG! I love these art canvases! The kids outdid you, you are teaching them too well! Great job on all 3 canvases, definitely inspires me to make some!
Very cool canvases! They turned out super great! Children make the best art because they aren't worried about what it is supposed to look like or that it has to be perfect although these canvasses look rather perfect to me. So much fun to spend time creating together.
