Canvas Painting - Twisters

Hello there.....

I am back after a certain gap....A lot of things kept me busy for quite some time....

I was making some or the other thing, but just wasn't finding the time to put anything

up on the blog.......Thanks for coming to check though :)

Today, I have put up pictures of these three mini canvas paintings I made recently.....

I call them 'Twisters'.......

The name kinda says it all here.....

Twisters

I have used 3 canvases of 6' X 6' each......
Here are the individual close-ups.......
As you can see here, the striations are raised, thus giving the painting its unique texture.....

The photos don't really do much justice to this beautiful raised effect though....

DIY Kids Nursery Wall Art

Hi.....

I am a newbie to the "blog" world, having entered the scene only a few months back,

and still learning......

But, I am not new to making something beautiful.....

This applies to my crafts, but also to my little angel whom I "made" almost 6 years back..... :)

I was just browsing through his baby photos when I came accross this one....

How time flies!!!....I had even forgotten about this.....as the room looks so different after the renovations we did few years back....

Anyways, I wanted my son to enjoy his early life looking at something pretty....

Don't all moms think so???

Well, I decided to do something that would not take much time...you know how a newborn keeps the mommy on her toes!!!

I soooo wanted to paint the wall :(

But, the time crunch made me use another option.....paper decoupage!!!

With help(lots!!!)  from my little sister, I was able to finish this in two days..

( the two hour nap break, once a day :O)

My sister and I drew free- hand  figures of  Pooh, Tigger and Piglet on florescent paper to make them look more brighter and vibrant.....

Surprisingly, Piglet was the toughest to draw....I just couldn't get his "Happy Face" right

 :(  .....But, persistence always pays and finally I got Piglet as I've always known him...happy and adorable :) He still is my favorite ........

We cut the figures across their outlines and finished them with some poster colors 

and a black marker.....

I also folded a long strip ( made by joining a few smaller strips) of green paper and cut it to look like grass.....Some leftover paper from Piglet, got transformed into a few gorgeous flowers.....

I wanted the trio to look as if they were playing in a garden.....but that scene somehow looked a bit empty.....

Then, I thought of giving them some balloons to play, to fill up the area.....

Suddenly, an idea struck.....Why not make this a picture wall???

We first glued the grass and then glued Pooh, Tigger and Piglet.....

After that, we glued down the flowers, the balloon strings and the balloons.....

The bright balloons became the base for the baby pictures.....

We glued the baby pictures and then, put a fancy printed fabric border around them.....

My nursery mural was now complete....

My baby couldn't take his eyes off the wall for a long time.....

That told me- Mission Accomplished !!!!

There we were....a happy mom and a very happy baby.....

I have blurred the pictures for privacy reasons.....Sorry about that!!!

Hope you enjoyed the post.....I had fun going back to those memories again......

Have fun and thanks for visiting :)

DIY Instant Wall Art- 2

Hello and welcome to view my Instant Wall Art-2....

I call it so because a few days back, I uploaded a post on Instant Wall art- Shoebox Lid Upcycling.....You can see the post by clicking here.

I made this wall art in a similar fashion using a shoe box lid and a scrapbook paper.

Instant Wall Art- Shoe box Lid Upcycling

This is the shoe box Lid I used for this wall art....

Shoe box Lid

This wall art is little different by accident!!! Funny Story :)....

Let me tell you.....

The scrapbook paper comes in a specific size and it fit my earlier shoebox lid perfectly....

However, this lid belonged to my beloved hubby's shoebox......it was a huge box!!!

It had to be....These were the shoes!!!!

So imagine my despair when the paper kept falling short from all sides......

After racking my brains for quite some time, I still couldn't make it fit.....I thought of using two pieces of scrapbook paper, but I wasn't feeling very happy about the idea...... But, I was not ready to give up.....

And then, out of nowhere an idea struck!!!

I decided to give the frame a boxed look.....( a box for a box....lol)......

I cut the paper in a way that it fit on the box, leaving an uniform border all around.....

Scrapbooking Paper

Then I painted the border with black color.......

See how it looks here......

When the color dried completely, I glued the paper on to the box lid........

It turned out like this!!!

Here's how it looks on the wall :)

The black border gives it a look of certain depth, which is what I like about this wall art....

The beauty of this wall art is in its uniform design.....which gives me the flexibility to hang it any way I like.....It looks good horizontally, and equally good vertically!!! Ain't that awesome???It is, right???

I used scrapbook paper here, but you can use any gift wrapping paper with a uniform design too!!!
Hope you liked this......
