For my project today, I tried a gelato technique that looked like messy fun!  I am trying more and more messy projects (aka mixed media) and it s fun getting outside my box! 

I started with an 8x10 canvas board and a glue gun.

I wrote "Art is love is art" and my initials in hot glue. 

I didn't even burn my fingers!! 

I colored the canvas with gelatos. 

I used my mini mister to spritz water on the canvas. 

Next I ran my finger over the canvas blending the colors and covering the canvas. 

This was the fun part! 

I wiped a damp paper towel over the letters and the color came off. 

I wiped some color off the insides of the letters, so I just put more back on!!

I used a black PITT artist pen big brush to color the edges.  I love how it looks on my shelf above my desk!!

Before you hop on, here is my scrambled word:

OAWRR MSAH (HINT* It's located under "Sale and Clearance" in the FD store here (http://frosted-designs.com/collections/sale-clearance))
