Your eye goes to every detail when you create your art (even right down to dotting the eggs!), you just blow me away every time you make a canvas...or anything else for that matter. Beautifully done, Gabrielle!

[@maureenp7082]

Another favorite! Love the way you used a real branch for the nest. I am addicted. :)

[@inspiredcaroline24]

Oh huge Sighhhhh! Breathtaking altered piece of art. Thank you for reminder of how to achieve a tarnished look. Thank you for showing every little wonderful detail that makes a huge difference to the finished piece. Your eggs are delightful as are your dangling charms. The branch with the nest is so inspired. If I list every part that I admire this will become too lengthy a comment. Sometimes less is more so.... Another triumph, Gabrielle! Ty. C :))

[@thespiderlady]

[@lizzywurmann]

It's such a joy to watch you creating Gabi!!

[@eileengrant5366]

Hello from cold & rainy Ireland. Stunning project. I'm definitely trying this & I know my effort will probably look like some hens have crashed into the canvas but I'll have fun trying to use your techniques. You have a great eye for detail & colour. Love your tutorials x

[@imaginesnipandglue4416]

Another gorgeous piece. Thanks for sharing!

[@colleenpedder5715]

[@cindyfielder8610]

I like to watch your tutorials to be inspired you are awesome.

[@chickad5820]

Stunning, Absolutely Stunning! I need to watch from beginning to end and not have to go find an old video to get beginning directions. I hope this makes sense. Every single video I've watched of yours is the best I've seen. The written part that comes and goes is HUGE, especially for the companies you get ur supplies from. Your inspiration is humbling and inspiring all in the same breathe. Keep up ur blessed ideas, they all have been priceless.

[@gloriahosking4097]

Hi, love this site.You make the most beautiful canvases ever, I might give it a go one day, they won't be as lovely as yours but you don't know till you try. Please keep them coming and thanks for sharing. Mmmmm beautiful.

[@darleneferree3887]

[@michellejohnston4635]

ESPECTACULAR!!! ME ENCANTAN TUS TRABAJOS!!! ERES UNA GRAN ARTISTA!! SALUDOS DESDE COAHUILA MÉXICO.

[@antm64]

This has been an interesting video to watch. Mixed media always looks so complicated. Not sure I have it in my artistic hands to create such a well controlled and beautiful "mess." I enjoyed watching you create the finish on the leaves...now that's really gorgeous! This is really a lovely project...glad you're a guest on Paper Crafter's Library!

[@robindonnelly]

OMG, this is exactly what I've been looking for; incorporating nature into a canvas. I've collected some feathers, bark and little berry twigs that I want to use. This is just perfect and gives me some ideas to make my own. Thanks so much! Your art is exquisite!

Another fantastic creation. You have certainly inspired me and although my first attempt didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned it, I will keep trying. And thank you so much for the link to Dusty Attic, I have placed my first order and am eagerly awaiting delivery. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and talent. hugs, Cheryl xxx

[@GabriellePollacco]

That's wonderful Cheryl, ...my designs don't always turn out exactly as I envision them either, they often take a turn I wasn't planning on, but just go with the flow and enjoy the process. I think you will really enjoy working with the Dusty Attic chipboard, I feel they add a lot to a canvas design. xo xo
