Arlene, I love this canvas! It is so beautiful! The layers and layers make it great! I am not really good at this sort of art though! I will put something like the wings on and then won't be able to cover them up. How do you know to cover certain things up? How do you know when to stop? You have layers under there that you can't even see anymore. Teach me please! It's gorgeous! ---leslie
hi arlene! i was wondering can we use the apple acrylic paint for this as well instead of student grade acrylic paint? thanks and that art work of yours is truley amazing(:
@foreverandom16 Thanks so much for your comment. :-) Yes, regular acrylic paints (i.e. Apple Barrel, Folk Arts, etc.) from your local Michael's or WalMart work great too, but be sure to Gesso (prep) your page first so the paint colors stay bold. :-) Enjoy!
absolutly amazing my daughter loves edward so i shown her this and she was like you got to do me one i was like i could ever make something this good i dont think so thank you for showing us your wonderfull talent xxxx
this is awsome i jst shown it t my daughter as she is in total ore of edward she was like you gota make me 1 of those i was like yer like i could ever do somthing so cool like that love it xxxx
@scrapp3r12 Sort of. Modge Podge is very different in texture (it's liquid versus gel) but both products achieve the "collage" look I was going for in this canvas. Hope this helps and sorry I'm so late in replying. :-)
ate Ar, may i know how much does the acryllic paints cost from there? coz I paint too. . . oil and watercolor, however I could not find much acryllic paints here in my hometown >,< thanks!
@selectionsbyER Hey ER.... acrylic paints range from $.88 a bottle to $30 a tube. hehe! It depends on the "grade" of paint you're looking for (such as student versus professional grade.) :-)
And I'm sure you'll have a great time watching Eclipse.
It's 21:45 over here and we just saw Eclipse. It's different from what I imagined reading the book (like the bed Edward bought and stuff) but the tent Edward/Jacob scene is still great! So funny.
Hi Arlene, Love your canvas for Bona. I love watching you work because the outcome is so unpredictable but the result is amzing. Great work with all these layering techniques. With your style of layering you might like to try a Glazing medium Liquid (Satin) by Golden. You can mix it with any acrylic paint color. They're also come in premixed bottles. Give it a try, you'll love it! TFS :)
i heart this!!!!! i love all your vids....im a musician as well as afreaky scrapper is the song from andy mckee???? it sounds like him i love his guitaring :)
Its funny how you can put down images -ex: the wings- and you have that plan. But during your collage you keep working and layering- its like your canvas has a design of its own. You end up creating texture that is so beautiful- one of a kind. The texture is exquisite. Thank you so much for sharing
l LOVE IT. ALL THE TEXTURE. I LOVE THE COLOR BROWN. I DONT WANT TO GET INTO JOURNALING BECAUSE I HAVE SUCH A BAD OBSESSION WITH ALL MY SCRAPBOOK THINGS. I JUST CANT START ANOTHER BAD HABBIT. I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO YOU ARE AN AMAZING CRAFTER. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INSPERATION....ANDREA
It's so amazing to see you work on that canvas. Layer after layer. Where I don't dare to try more you go on and I just love to see that result. Cuz now I want to try it for sure!
Oh Edward, I'm so not afraid. OOOMMMGGG Ar! I love it! Watched your vid a hundred times...lol THANK YOU so much! Oh Edward looks so nice...heeehee I'm definitely Team Edward! lol This means a lot of me and I just can't wait to see it tomorrow. I'm so excited. Lovin the black roses. Love all your layering.
Wow Arleen... Gorgeous. There is a twilight saga tonight at the theater where you can watch the first two and then the new one. I could not take my daughter because of the two babies but my sister is taking her and my niece for me. Boo hoo, I can't go. I will just have to go and see it alone. Lol. Have a great time with Bona.
ahhhh arlene!! omg omg! this canvas is AMAZING! (: i loved watching you make it. i need to alter a canvas one of these days. it looks like soooo much fun! bona is going to LOVE it!! i can picture her hanging it right above her bed so shes looking at edward in bed. HAHAHA! i totally would. hes beautiful!!! :D lol. im so happy i was able to inspire you arlene. (: i feel sooo honored. hehe. luv ya arlene!! (:
wow amazing. I am working on a twilight saga mini and now I am afraid to share it. LOL Mine looks like garbage compared to your project. Great work. Love Love Love it.
Bona is going to really dig this, especially being a newbie to the Twilight Saga. So funny how they're combining the last two books into one movie. I'm excited to see how that's going to play out. Anyway.. where did you get those images?
@vmtee Hey there. They are actually breaking up the last book "Breaking Dawn" into 2 movies. I'm so excited about that!!! :-) The pics are from the internet, I just printed them on photo paper.
@mybutterflykisses12 Awesome! thanks! I was wondering where everyone had been getting their images. It's going to be a good one, i can't wait to see it as well!
Thank you soooo much for filming while you made it, it's so inspiring! Really amazing! Love it! I'm a huge fan too, can't wait for the movie this weekend! TFS!
Amazing!!!!! My sister and I are huge Twilight fans. It makes it soooo much more fun when you can read the books with your bff. We are Team Edward all the way. Have you read Midnight Sun? I wish Stephenie Meyer would finish it, but I don't care I'll read anything Twilight whether its half done or not. You have inspired me to try to make a canvas for my sister. Truly amazing Arlene. I love the grungy look. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
@tarakelley79 Hi Tara, yup of course I read Midnight Sun! hehe! So super disappointed the content was leaked cuz can you imagine how awesome that book would have been cover to cover??? They should still do a movie based on the non-book. :-)
@cindysms Hi Cindy! I let the first layer air dry and did the rest in one sitting, drying layers as I go so it wouldn't get muddy. I let the last layer (glass bead gel) dry on its own cuz it bubbles when heated. TFW! :-)
hee hee hee ar, LOL your so funny love it -like a kid in the candy store, how fun was this to make, too cute...i STILL have to read the BOOK...!!!!!! it sounds SO GOOD
Hey Arlene, that was fun to watch. ALOT of new products I am not familiar with. lol I love how you incorporated so many diff techniques and the crest was a neat tough but then it was convered up by the tulle. lol I guess when your creating ANYTHING can happen and in this case a beautiful was created. GREAT job.!!! xoxo
Oh Arlene this is so amazing!! I love this with all my heart. You know I am a fan just like you and I watched this with my mouth hanging wide open. LOL. You did a wonderful job on this!! I'm going to try and make one of these for myself. I know it won't look as good as yours but I just have to try. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to see Eclipse. YEA!!! Big Hugs, Jenny :)
What I love about the collage work is that you never know what you will see when you're done! You layer and layer until you get the look you want and many of your layered pieces might get lost, but who would know? This is beautiful, thank you for sharing and adding your steps. Very helpful.
Arlene, Arlene, Arlene....you NEVER cease to amaze me! I love watching you create because it is obvious that you love it! Bona is gonna be lovin this!!!! You are a sweet friend!
Oh Arlene i absolutly love your canvas i'm a complete twilight fan and im so making my lil sister a twilight canvas now thsnk hun. I read all the books when twilight first came out at cinema and breaking dawn is my favourite i read it in a day and half i took it everywhere in the bath cooking dinner lol everyone thought i was hillarious huge hugs, toni xx
What a wonderful idea!!! It looks like you really had a lot of fun creating this. I love Twilight too although I'm very behind with reading the books. I'm stuck on Eclipse and actually haven't picked it up in months. I can't believe the movie is almost out. I need to get back into reading it. I'm always working on various things so I tend to get distracted. LOL!!! TFS. Much Aloha~ Jes
I like the bubble wrap technique you used. The canvas turned out so great. I am going to show it to my daughter and see if she wants to do one. She is Team Jacob though.
OMG Arlene that is AWESOME!!!I love all the Twilight books and movies but wasn't really into all the extras until recently I got a Jacob shirt as a gift. You should have seen my hubbys face when I wore it lol like he thought I should be committed. I wonder what he will think of a canvas....I gotta watch it again! Love that tag too!
Omg loving this canvas you distressed the h e double hockey sticks out of it lol! I am thinking that the vid is not doing it justice! GORGEOUS! Thanks for doing a vid on how you created this beautiful piece of art! I am like Bona not sure who I am rooting for lol! Have fun at the movie and I wish you could tape Bona's reaction to the canvas and the movie that would be fun to see lol! TFS! Hugs, Kathy
Ar, it was such a joy to watch you create this piece of art! Bona is going to flip when she sees it! I've watched all of your videos and everything you do turns into a masterpiece! Love it! Hugs, Mary >;<
