Talk about Tuesday- Interesting artwork

OK. I will go ahead and say that I am one of those people who love their pets too much. I don't have kids, so I have three four-legged fur balls that I spoil. Don't judge me. That being said, I have always wanted artwork of my dogs; which is unfortunately a little out of my price range. Then came an article from designsponge and an idea was born. It was really easy and I think the results are pretty good.

I bought three 8x10 canvases at 40% off. I think that worked out to be about $7.50 total. I also bought gray acrylic paint at 50% off and 8.5x11 full size sheet sticky labels. The labels were the most expensive thing, but I have since found many cool things to print out on them. Oh, my labels were clear. I think that makes a difference because paint can't bleed through them. You also want to buy canvases that are already treated with gesso. I took profile pictures of my dogs, printed them out and cut them out with as much detail as possible. You want a lot of details with pets because otherwise they end up looking like sock puppets. I learned this the hard way two canvases later. Trust me. Stick the cut out labels on the canvases and paint in the white areas. Pull off labels and let dry. Instant art work. Easy peasy.

As I look at this picture I realize that their portraits are crooked. Trust me, this will be fixed tonight! I can't stand a crooked picture!
