Letter Blocking Art Canvas!

Hello All!

I'm back! I've done more canvas art projects like last week and I have about 9 on my wall. I'll upload a picture when it's all done. I'm currently waiting for the 9th one to be done, but I need a printer that will print 9x12... so soon

I found this a long time ago! It was actually one of my first pins on Pinterest:





Sooo... recently my friend and I were in the car, and I was like, "You know what's a good song is? Maybe it was Memphis." My best friend then preceded to scream out the chorus...like it should be done

 <---- WOOO Listen up

 and I thought hells yes I found my new quotes! As my Best friend is moving into the apartment soon, she approved!
TO HOBBY LOBBY I WENT! With the ever present Ms. Chanandaler Bong ( or MCB as I will call her)


We bought 
  • 4 different colors of Acrylic Paint: Teal, Blue, Purple, Yellow
  • White Spray Paint (The original used white acrylic, but she suggested Spray)
  • Helvetica Font Repositionable Vinyl Letters
  • 2 Large Canvas  (16x20) (because I didn't want to but watercolors, or whatever she said in her original)
  • a larger canvas (20x24) , because the 2nd words didn't fit on the two I bought...
  • Foam Brushes
  • Tape (DEFINITELY BUT THIS FOR EDGING 

Then I got to work with MCB. We painted the canvas in two different directions, alternating colors


Here is the almost finished
WOO DONE!


Then we looked at the letters and made sure they would fit.
HEY It's Princess Conseula Banana-Hammock! She came by after we mentioned we were doing activities
I'll call her PCBH from now on
Boom. Looking Good. You go Pam Tillis
I also thought they looked cool like this ^ so if you want you could be done here.... but. I wasn't

Then MCB had to go home and get all fancy so PCBH and I went outside and spray painted the pictures with white paint. I can see why she didn't use normal paint, but spray paint doesn't really cover fully the colors... So to your own discretion. PCBH and I kind of like the fact that you can see through it a little.

Remember to always add your own touch to your art projects. It's yours!
    - some philosophy for you!



See? we made it darker, but it took all the paint we had.

Oh remember that extra canvas I had? I made this down below

OOO CHEVRON...getting fancy up in this house.
This Chevron crap is hard, buy a LOT of tape...and I mean a LOT! and maybe a ruler.....


So we painted, and arranged and spray painted, and chevron-ed...and here's what I got!

YAY!


It looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself! 


Radical Factor: Epic Win based on the difficulty ratio I made up in my head. 
                            IT was some effort
From PCBH- 4 Banana-Hammocks for the Words
                      2 Banana-Hammocks for the Chevron 
                               (missing tape, and it was more difficult than expected....
                                and someone messed up the white paint.. 
"that's me... K.. I got impatient"

From MCB - 4 TV Guides. 



As always, thanks to those out there reading! I hope you enjoy and do it yourself! Don't Let your Pinterest boards go to waste!!!! DO THEM!!!

No i'm serious..

DO THEM

OK, 

See ya later!

K

Next time:
  • Don't worry, i'm still doing the door. It just takes some extra man power, from the Faja. and it's too hot to work on it without health concerns for him. So we are waiting a bit, but he is super excited I think! 
  • Hopefully it will be up next week
  • If not i'll find something else! (i've been looking at this spoon-mirror thing)

BYE!
