Painted Canvas

Several posts ago, I had a small quilt with 3-D flowers and a butterfly. I was searching for an unusual way to mount or frame this small piece. Well, I built up many different layers and textures with paint and gel medium onto the canvas, looking for just the right background. The colors started dark and gradually went pretty bright, then I added a wash over the whole thing to unify it. I like the idea of mounting a fiber piece on canvas and want to make some more. What do you think?

I think it looks great! I recently mounted a piece by Terri Stegmiller onto some silk fusion. The texture in the fusion was very effective. Yours is too!

It looks great! It blends in really well with the green tones in the canvas....
