Fleur De Lis Canvas

I used a fleur de lis stencil to make a cute little canvas. Just a late night project to cure boredom.

Next Big Project: Materials

My next project involves this large canvas (in the back of my car) and the picture below, as well as the song lyrics.






Still my heart and hold my tongue. I feel my time, my time has come. Let me in, unlock the door .I never felt this way before. And the wheels just keep on turning. The drummer begins to drum. I don't know which way I'm going. I don't know which way I've come. Hold my head inside your hands. I need someone who understands. I need someone, someone who hears. For you I've waited all these years. For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come. Until my day my day is done. And say you'll come and set me free. Just say you'll wait you'll wait for me. In your tears and in your blood. In your fire and in your flood. I hear you laugh I heard you sing. I wouldn't change a single thing. The wheels just keep on turning. The drummers begin to drum. I don't know which way I'm going. I don't know what I've become. For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come. Until. my days my days are done. Say you'll come and set me free. Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

Jim and Pam Pt. 2

I decided to give my Jim and Pam painting just a bit of a touch up. They look superfab now.

This is what they looked like before. The water and a lot of Jim needed retouching.

And here they are after touch-ups!

Accent Pieces

I got these cool stencils from Hobby Lobby that are similar to the designs on my duvet cover, so I painted some cute accent canvases for my room. 

This is my inspiration for the project: my duvet pattern and a painting from my room that my grandmother painted

 It was way too plain with just one stencil on it, so my friend Hilary suggested I do an overlay of other stencils with different colors.

 And.....voila! Here's the finished product. Not so bad if I say so myself.
