Knock off part 2...

(scroll to previous post to see how it was made)

I put up my ABC canvas today.

It did not look right.

See look how boring. Just a bunch of beige shapes.

So I tried to add some color to the mix.

Now there was just a bunch of beige shapes with a red circle.

I decided to paint the frames.

I absolutely love these frames.

They have a fun paisley pattern on them.

First they were green.

Then linen with a brown wash. (like the picture above)

Then finally they ended up a robins egg blue color with a brown wash.

I added fabric ties at the top to finish them.

In the end I decided that the canvas looked unfinished without a frame.

Lucky I had a big one out in the garage.

It is too big, so there is about an inch boarder between it and the canvas.

I painted it red.

I am loving the red and the blue.

To bad my camera is taking horrible pictures.

It looks much better in person.
