My friends are crafty.
The good kind of crafty!
Lindsey and Susan came to my house and we made some pretty bird wall art.
| Here they are covering our canvases with old book pages. |
Our supplies
Two Canvases
Sharpie Markers
Cut out Birds from a calender
Scissors
pages from an old book. I used an old hymnal and Lindsey used a dictionary
Glue or Mod Podge

After mod podging the pages to the canvases we drew branches with the sharpies and traced the birds where we wanted them on our branches.
| Lindsey coloring in her birds. |
Almost done! Just need to draw in a couple more small branches and leaves.
I hung them over my couch but the wall still feels very bare to me.
You all have any ideas on what i could do/add to spruce it up?
I was thinking I might add a sign like this one above them.

First off - what a great project! They look wonderful!
Second - just my advice - they are hung just a bit too high. You don't want them to float on the walls, they should be "tied in" more to the couch...
Third - the sign would look fantastic!
Wow! They look great Liss! What a great project!
I love this project!!!
I agree with Deanna that they are hung a bit too high but you gals are very impressive with your art skills!
