Be Back Soon...

I recently switched my focus from a creative writing blog to the more craft inspired Design DNA.  I get obsessed and dedicate myself to new projects then become bored rather quickly.  I miss the story I left behind but needed this time to clear my head.  I'll check back periodically and will hopefully have new things to share.  I just won't be as active.  Well, at least until I grow tired of my writing again.

Round Sponge Brush Canvas Art

2 white canvases stared me in the face for months.  A Christmas gift miracle needed to happen but the inspiration wouldn't come.  I painted and re painted these suckers three times.

Thank you round sponge brush!  

You made my canvas look like I know how to paint!

Skill level: Easy

Supplies: Canvas, round sponge brush, 

acrylic paint and spray paint.

Technique: dip the magic round sponge brush in paint and swirl.  I dipped the same brush into several different colors to get the highlighted look (until it became a brown mess)

***I lightly skimmed over the painted canvas with spray paint (white primer and light green) which muted the bright warm colors giving it a more antiqued look.
