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?
