I had a bit of fun creating this mini canvas using the prompt "heaven" what quickly came to mind since it was morning was that a sip of a coffee latte would have been heaven! What can I say I was craving some caffeine at the time! I used an acrylic domino mounted on a mini canvas (1 1/2"x 2 1/2") and some fluffy white angel wings that I cut & adhered both to the canvas using crystal lacquer. I finished it off by displaying it on a mini easel. Check out my OTM Inspiration Blog to see how I created the Acrylic Domino.~~~~~~~~~

Here's my finished wood journal from my art play-day with friends the other day. It took a completely different direction as I got the doodle bug, and couldn't stop myself! I first drilled holes around the opening and then colored it using my Color Mists . Once it was dry I used a white sailor pen and began drawing designs. I used some cotton dyed needlepoint thread and a piece of wire to stitch through the holes I'd drilled to create a pattern.
On the back side I used the Color Mists also and then used a stencil and chalk inks around the edges. I also went over the stencil design with the white sailor pen again.

I don't drink coffee, but I fully understand the sentiment on your adorable mini-canvas. I really like that you used a domino. The journal covers are wonderful. I especially like the doodling. I'm going to have to get out the saylor pen that I got in my last order from you.
