Altered Frame With Canvas: A Garden Where all Kinds of Flowers Can Bloom and Grow


The other day I got this frame from my Dad who had it in his stash. It was a brown that needed to go away. So, added it to my spray paint pile and made it black.

Then, added some canvas to the back of it.

Primed up the canvas with gesso and then sprayed it up with some glimmermist.

My plan with this was to use up a ton of my little sticker letters that I have left over and fill in with some hand writing if the word was really long. One of my favorite parts is the velvet rub-on from Close to My Heart along with that wooden butterfly. 


Here is a side shot of the fabric flowers I got from my friend Lisa from Kansas  and the crackle metal piece I made was using a similar a process to my Clear Vintage Metal Page Charm post. Since the letters were printed on my ink jet, I did put tape over top of them prior to adding glue so they wouldn't run.

And here is another shot of a flower that Lisa made out the cardboard from a paper towel roll and some little yellow roses.


And if you are trying to read this from the screen, let me just spell out what the quote says:


"If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow." 


It is a quote from Elisabeth Kubler Ross and something I thought was very lovely and fitting for today! And another item to add to my Junk2Funk pile!
