First mixed media/ altered art project

I have never really done a project like this. I have just finished with a fun book called, Pretty Little Things by Sally Jean Alexander. It is very inspiring.  This project is done on a canvas. I painted the background purple and then added the swirls, stars, and sun and moon.  I printed out the words and glued them down. I then used a white metallic paint to turn the words into clouds. The butterfly is hand stamped. The word dream is from some scrapbooking stickers.  I really enjoyed the process. I just wish I would have had more supplies to work with.  If you have not tried some altered or mix media art, you really should.

I have not taken any painting classes and have been trying to teach myself. I have learned how to paint those One Stroke roses! This is just one of the steps in my process of creating things that I like. Does it really matter if anyone else likes them? I’m not sure it really does, but it is a bonus.
