the moment you doubt

 I just love when one thing leads to another.

The day I discovered this quote by J M Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, I also discovered this by Tricia Scott.

 Things didn't stew too long before I was pulling out supplies.

First, I found a set of alpha stamps that was a good size.  

 Second, I needed a canvas and just as Tricia did, I found a prepped canvas that had been relegated to the corner for oh.... about a year or so. 

Time to let it go.

I had some scraps of sticky back paper left from printing DVD labels and you know we (you and I) cannot throw away anything we might need later.

I needed it. 

I stamped the letters for the quote on the sticky back paper and cut them out. 

I had to audition (above) the quote on the canvas to be sure it would fit. 

 Then black gesso right over that sketch.

I used a fine sandpaper to expose the texture. 

I mean, what's the point of having collage under it.

 Here, in the chair zone, the quote is applied to the canvas.

I remembered that I had ordered some new paint I thought would be perfect.

So, I had to wait for it.

The color I used was Victorian Grey and it looks great.

 I applied a very loose layer. After it dried, I sanded it back a little to grunge it up a bit. 

When I removed the letters, the sticky back pulled up a bit of the black gesso. 

I could have touched it up with the black, but you know me.

I ♥ color!
