This isn't exactly a week of art, but it's my third day of an art related post, I guess I got a little carried away. I saw this idea....somewhere. I like canvas prints, but they are really expensive, so I decided to try this out. The tutorial I saw used boards, but I used a canvas I bought with a coupon at the craft store. I printed off a picture of some ducks I took last fall at the state fair on the midway.
I mod podged the picture to the canvas, and then added another layer on top to seal it.
I might use a foam brush next time to eliminate brush strokes, but I still like the way it turned out, and I'm planning on making more of these for my living room using some of my favorite photos. I think I'll paint the edge of the canvases black. Basically, this isn't the last you'll hear about this. Consider *yourself* warned!

Thanks Christy...you've got my wheels turning now....
ReplyDeleteMy sister just bought a photo canvas and they wrapped the edges of the photo around the edges.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Those duckies are fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is an adorable picture, Christy. Perfect for the bathroom. Really cute idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun print! and a clever idea. I think they make a product that you can manipulate and it will seal and look like the weaving of canvas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea. I love that picture that you took with the ducks. I wish I could photgraph that well.
ReplyDeleteI did take a cool picture of chocolate chip cookies and would love to do this to decorate my kitchen. Thanks for sharing and getting the wheels turning.
