New! Canvas Art

A few weeks back I racked up big time

at Michael's on some clearance items.

Included in the stash were several brightly

colored mounted canvases just aching for

some crafty love. I think I paid $2 each!

You can TOTALLY make these with whatever

crafty stuff you have laying around the house,

which is exactly what I did.

For this first one, I added some scrapbook

paper cutouts and mounted the birds on top

of what I'm calling burlap twine, which is

really just a thread I pulled out of a scrap of

burlap then knotted at the ends.

I truly LOVE how this one turned out.

This one includes a vinyl sparrow (also found

on clearance at Michael's!) also perched on

a thread of burlap twine. Scrapbook paper

pieces, ribbon, another burlap scrap and a

pearl embellishment pretty the whole thing up.

These two canvas art pieces happen to be available

in my shop, but I think I've caught the canvas

bug and plan to have lots of fun seeing what else

I can come up with -- a whole new creativity for me!

What do you think?

What have you done with canvas?
