Fixing a mess - the artistic way.

I have a confession to make - I did an image transfer that went wrong - big time - it flaked off in lots of places.  It was on one of the hessian bags I have been using lately.  I spent half an hour picking off the flakes that would peel off - and sanding down/off those that wouldn't before applying another transfer on top - and the same thing happened but not quite so bad.

So I decided to rescue it - and paint over it with acrylic paints.

It was rather liberating painting with big gloops of acrylic!

I had nothing to lose as it was messed up any way

so I went all 'Monet' -ish!

Where there were renmants of writing showing through

where I had painted - I just wrote over with a Promarker

It's all gobbledegook!

There was a big chunk of the lady missing so this

was rather a challenge - but it looks fine from a

distance which is how you are supposed to view paintings

The bag is lined with sealed plastic - so its a great surface to paint

on - it doesn't soak through to the other side!

That's another fine mess I got myself out of Ollie!
