i think that would look sharp in a white frame with a white mat.  very cool!

I am absolutely in love with this.  I think it would look even cooler if it was hung erratically and randomly.  I'm going to make something like this and hang it in my dining room.  Amazing!!!

I am absolutely in love with this!  Now I'm inspired to cuten-up my porch!

Here is my latest creation.  I was suddenly inspired to poke holes in the back of a canvas and stick a string of white Christmas lights through.  I painted the back of the canvas black because too much light was showing through and I left the front plain.  I absolutely love the glow it puts off in my living room, and Zane likes it too!

EDIT: The holes are poked with a really thick nail.  Then the lights are each pressed through and they hold in there pretty tight.  Then I gathered up the string and mashed it into a bundle, laid thick paper over it, and taped it to the back of the canvas. 

Here is my kitty and my art project:



And a little bit of a close up:

that looks absolutely fantastic!  a very very good job!

 
That is so sweet that your Dad was so excited to help and have it posted on Craftster!  Now I must make a lamp!

Thanks for the advice!  I ended up just using packaging tape because the super glue hurt my skin...the fake blood covered it and you could hardly tell.  I won the contest however at work and pocketed $50!  I couldn't walk three feet without someone stopping me, and I'm on countless strangers' cell phone cameras!

my halloween costume this year is uma thurman's character mia wallace from pulp ficition.  any ideas of how to attach the adrenaline syringe to my chest? 

This kitchen is a dream!  I have a set of olive green and white dishes that match yours.  My boyfriend calls them my "grandma dishes".  Nah, we just have good taste!

It's beautiful!!!

Anybody know of any links to sites that sell paintings or stretched canvas of mod/contemporary/funky/atomic/retro designs?  I love to get inspiration from surfing about the internet to DIY my own canvas creations, but I've run out of a lot of places with more ideas.

Help is appreciated!  xo
