The print was stapled to a nice frame and I had an 'aha moment.'
I ripped off the print.
And found this great base. But now what? I'm not an artist, that would be my son. He's busy though and I knew he wouldn't have time to paint me a nice flower, besides flowers aren't really his thing, he likes to use mixed media.
I thought about using scrapbook paper but since this is going in my bathroom and I take super hot showers I had a feeling the steam would melt the paper.
I thought about spray painting it and just hanging it on the wall as is, and maybe sticking something else in the middle of the frame.
Then I remembered this floral fabric had bought from fabric.com! It's a fun fabric and I thought I'd make a dress. Sometimes the fabric you see on the internet isn't quite what you pictured when it arrives especially if you are math challenged. The dimensions of the print were given but I didn't realize how big the flowers really were! The fabric has been sitting on my stash shelf for about a year.
I pulled it off the shelf and auditioned it around the frame. It looked good. So out came my staple gun--that took me awhile to find. I haven't been in my creative room since November because I've been working only on my new book and nothing else.

Well now, that's pretty nifty. That fabric really does work well as artwork!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, I love the fabric. What a great way to make use of that frame.

ReplyDeleteI don't have one-fiftieth of your creative talents.
Sigh. But my daughter does! And she actually painted a work that looks similar to yours!
