Spring Birds Canvas Project

Spring Birds Canvas Project by LK Designs DT Member Marfi Bradford

In Marfi's Words:

 

Yesterday I sat out in the tiny "backyard"of my gypsy wagon and

created a little project using some of

my awesome Lisa Kettell products.

It's simple and it's a little tribute

 to this beautiful season.

Supplies

unfinished china doll head  

6x6 canvas

paper mache bird box

hot glue gun/glue sticks

acrylic paints: black, navy blue, medium blue, dark pink, light pink, orange, peach

oil pastels:dark brown, green, light pink, fuchsia, peach

red lace trim

Directions

1. Paint canvas dark blue

add a bit of light blue for interest.

using the oil pastels, draw branches and flowers

2. Paint china doll head peach, add facial details and hair color

cut the top part of the bird off

paint dark pink, orange and light pink.

3. Hot glue china doll head to bird body

add lace trim

hot glue to the canvas

paint feet on with light pink paint.

4. There's a lot of different things that can be done

with this one...

she could be a raven for Halloween, or a dove for Easter

her body can be covered over in sheet music

or she can placed in a little cage...

there's endless possibilities1

I hope you try this out & have loads of fun.
