Last year before we moved, I made this piece of skyline art.
Because we have lovely cement dorm walls, hanging pictures up isn't always a possibility, so this has been sitting in the top of our closet gathering dust. I still love this piece, and I kept trying to make it work with the room space we had, but it never did. Bummer!
March is going to be the beginning of something pretty big on the blog, which is overwhelming for me...and also completely exciting. The new desk I'm planning on buying will be able to hold both of my machines (are you curious yet?) and hopefully this newly recovered canvas art will add a nice bright touch to the new space.
First I covered the canvas in a semi-thick felt to help block the dark paint. I used my glue gun for this. Using the glue gun, I would work in small sections, laying a squiggle of glue down, then pulling the fabric nice and snug, pressing the fabric into the glue and holding it there firmly for a few seconds before moving onto the next section.
Then I repeated that process with the yellow fabric.
That's it!
I know it looks slightly mustard yellow in the photographs, but it's actually a very vibrant canary color. Sometimes you just need vibrancy in your life!
Today I am thankful for...the warmer weather we are fortunate to have this upcoming week. Hello, flip flops!
