Artwork

You can create wall art for your home if you are on a budget. I wanted a large canvas art piece for my living room wall. Large wall canvas art is quite expensive. In looking over some of the gallery pieces in the store I told myself I could do that. I then went to the arts and craft store, but the blank canvases alone were quite expensive also, I looked over the construction of the canvases and then went to the hardware store and purchased some wood pieces that were the same width of the wood they used on the blank canvases in the art store.

I asked my husband to put the wood together, once that was done, I took a piece of thick fabric I had at home, and stapled it around the wood frame, I then painted the fabric with house primer and paint to make the material feel hard, then I got some paints and proceeded to become a makeshift artist, see images below, not bad for a amateur. Some of you my not have the patience for this, if you are not budget conscious as I am you can check out the art on Fabdecorators.com.
