Ustream Baggage Mixed Media Canvas by Tonya Gibbs

We had a huge crowd last night at the show.  Thanks to everyone for their support!

Garment District Paper Collection can be purchased from http://www.FlamingoScraps.com

We created a mixed media canvas based on my Pastor's sermon last week regarding "releasing your baggage".   The just of the sermon was that you can't carry around harbored feelings, you have to let it go or it will bog you down.  Our Pastor used a suit case to illustrate his point.  I was so inspired in this message, that I immediately began thinking about this canvas.  

 

For the doll I used the following Copic colors for her Hair and Skin. 

Hair: E37, E55, E30
Face:  E50, E11, E01, R20
Dress: BV23 , Colorless blender.

 

I wrote the scriptures that he used in the sermon onto the Tim Holtz Valise die to remind me that I've given my baggage to God and I can't take it back.  Here are the verses:

 

Matthew 11:28

Proverbs 13:12

Jeremiah 6:14

Hebrews 12:1

James 5:16

Romans 12:2

Romans 12:3

Romans 6:23

Revelations 1:18

Ephesians 4:26 -27

1 John 1:8

2 Corinthians 10: 3-4

1 Peter 5:7

 

 

 

I used an old hymnal to die cut the wings to symbolize the flight of my baggage.  The title of the Hymn was "Look to Jesus"  and I also included it at the bottom.  

 

 Here is the Ustream archive of  me making the canvas.
