The kids were painting spring canvases for a school
project this past week and I couldn't help but join in!
It was so fun :)
I painted the canvas with water colours (obviously, I need
more practise...my technique leaves much to be desired. I'm
not a fan of the places where I over-watered and the red ran
into the turquoise :P) But, as in all crafty endeavors, when you
make a mistake you just gotta go with it. Forces you to be even
more creative! So, in an attempt to distract (cover-up) the mess
I decided to add some things on top of the painting. I cut the
birds out of some sheet music using my Cameo (can we stop and
discuss how much I love that thing?!) and the black swirlies and
text are from some uber-old rub-ons I had in my stash. I
mod-podged everything together and, while it's not perfect,
I'm still pretty happy with it and I love the fun, whimsical
look it adds to our walls. Definitely need to make more time
for creating things like this, just for fun!
Thanks for stopping by! Make some time to get crafty
this week - you'll be glad you did!

It's beautiful Angela!!
ReplyDeleteI love that the red ran into the turquoise. That's my favourite part! This is beautiful. A lovely spring-time craft for the kiddies. And such a good idea cutting the birds out of the sheet music. Love the distressing and the unique wings. Looks like you had a happy, fun time creating this.
