Artist Cheryl Lau created this stunning textured canvas piece “Beautiful” using modeling paste, patterned papers, paint, and rubber stamps. Her adorable daughter, Ellerie, is the subject in the photographs. “My daughter is a tomboy and refuses to wear a dress, let alone a big flower in her hair,” Cheryl writes.
“ … but when she saw this dress, she declared it looked like Cinderella and hammed it up for the picture.” For detail on how Cheryl created her piece, please see the “Sample Instructions.”
