First Art Project
Just wanted to pop in and quickly post an art project I've been working for some time now...I'm almost finished - just thinking of some more quotes that resonate with me.

my version - with quotes instead of song lyrics...i could never commit to one song!
Not bad, eh?

thanks for the compliment!
My supplies: acrylic paints, a huge canvas (5ftx3ft) and 2 inch stencil letters that I got at the art supply store. Since they only have so many shades of gray and i wanted the colours to go from light to dark in a natural way, i bought 3 colours - black, white and a shimmery white...this gives me control over how light and dark it is :) I'm really picking quotes (though a few are line from songs) by what i really like, what i think would make others think upon seeing it and what works. it is hard because I like so many - but some, oddly, when i considered putting on the canvas didn't work...they ruled themselves out. I cut a business card into 1.5" width so that the spacing between the lines would be somewhat consistent and then i just eyeballed the lines as I was putting them down. (i later made the business card 'spacer' 1")if i was doing it again i would probably eyeball the space between the lines too and not make them as wide...i'd make it more scrunched together. one or two of the lines are a bit crooked but it adds to it i think :)
though it is a bit time consuming, all in all it's a pretty easy and affordable way to get a huge piece of art for your home.
i'm almost finished it..just need a few more quotes :)
@mrslimestone - when i finally get my own place it may go over the sofa like Molly Sims' or perhaps on a large wall (if i'm lucky to have one) over a console maybe?
