Since the canvas makeovers went so well for the twins, I have kept an eye out for painted canvasses at my favorite thrift store.  I promise, there is always at least one – and always cost less than a dollar.  I mean, who in their right mind would pay a lot of money for a used canvas depicting someone else’s initials?  Am I right?  Of course I am!  But, I will pay a dollar, although I’d rather pay a quarter, 😉

Ok, so all of these masterpieces (and I use that term loosely) started out as something either butt ugly or poorly drawn, or in some cases well done, but still cast aside.  Ripe for the picking, I tell ya!

I love to paint on a canvas.  The feel of the paintbrush on canvas is so cool, and I just love the way the paint smears across or puddles up.  I also love to glue bits of paper and other odds and ends to it.  I might add some stickers or rub-ons, maybe a little texture with tissue paper or mulberry paper.  Then I think it needs something else, so I drag out my rubber stamps and before you know it, I can’t see my table!  Anyway, check out my latest canvas creations!
