Hands to serve Him

I have been doing a 

LOT of mixed media, lately.

I enjoy it.

Well, some of it is not my favorite, but I leave that alone-😀😁😂🤣😃

I made this mitten as an ornament, several years ago. 

I have sold LOTS of them.

I know...my friend keeps asking for a pattern.😉🙄😕😛

Maybe this will work.😁😂🤣😃

This is one of my most 

favorite sayings.

I will never apologize

 for sharing my faith.

I look at my art as

 an extension 

of my ministry.

I typed my saying on a computer.

If you have a laser printer, then you can just decoupage it onto your project.

If you have an ink jet printer, you will need to spray your copy with a couple of light coats of clear spray varnish, preferably matte or satin.
If you do not do this, it will smear.

These pictures show what I used.
You adjust to what you have
and what you like.

My surface was a 4 inch canvas.

So, begin by painting your back and edges of your surface 

with the color of your choice.

I used Extreme Sheen on mine.

Tear small pieces of decoupage paper.

I use small pieces to add texture.

Use a whole piece if you wish.

Use paint if you don't want to use paper.

Attach them with Matte Decoupage.

Apply your colors of choice. 

It takes very little media paint.

I also thinned it a bit with water.

I despise wasted paint, so I used just a drop or two of each color, adding more if needed.

Cut out or paint your mitten.

Color as you wish.

I cut the heart separately.

Attach with Matte Decoupage.

I like to dry brush 

my edges with Payne's Grey.

I outlined the 

mitten and heart 

with a 

medium charcoal pencil.

The words were attached 

and lightly painted, 

because of the 

bright white paper.

If you use a Charcoal pencil, 

be sure to 

spray varnish

 your project

 so it won't smear.

Have fun putting 

your spin on a 

similar project.

I am simply blessed 

to create~charlotte♡

if you need it.

Yes, by all means, resize it as you wish.

It is always a kind thing to give an Artist credit when you make something similar from their pattern or instructions.😉🤗
