Are you wondering what project was mine? It was the Wood Canvas Art:
I initially had a couple pallets that I was going to take apart and make a "canvas" out of. Have any of you actually tried to take one apart?!? Well lets say after 30 minutes of banging and maybe some curse words, I got nowhere and decided for plan B:
My husband built me this out of a piece of board he picked up at Lowes. He gets bonus points for this one!
I first took the staining medium and mixed it with the brown.
I wiped it on and rubbed it in the board. I added a couple shades of brown.
I then added a little bit of turquoise and silver to age it:
I then drew on the silhouette of the chandelier:
I then filled it in with a dark brown paint:
On the bottom I added our wedding date in roman numerals:
I then stenciled on this love quote I had pinned on pinterest:
Finally I sanded her down a bit, paying close attention to the edges of the boards:
There she is all finished. I am going to hang this in our master bedroom over a dresser (that I am currently looking for).
Also, please forgive my lask of posting this week. Morning sickness and tiredness has taken over my life this week. Hopefully I willl feel up to doing more next week!
