Painting canvas purse

I painted a piece of gessoed canvas with ink for the first layer teal and some sienna brown. Then I painted with acrylics the squares and circles and my final layer was doodling with posca paint pens. I sealed it with a layer of gel medium which I found out activates the posca pens and the started to run. So I quickly blotted with a paper towel. I really enjoyed this process and now have it for sale. I will have more available in my etsy shop posh pachyderm. Has anyone else sewn painted canvas? Recommendation of a good varnish sealer product?

God will bless the work of your hands

For several weeks, I have been thinking about Deuteronomy 2:7 "The LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through the vast wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything." It has been a very difficult season for me as my Mom died who was as inspiration to me as an artist and my family has been through some difficult times. I have been sick with gastricparesis so it gives me great comfort to know God is with me and it has been in my art journaling this past week that God blesses the work of our hands and creativity is a gift from Him.
