I look around at all the things I have found and repurposed but never took before pictures. But that is okay, lesson learned time to move on....
This being one of them. The sculpture is something I did a while ago, and it looked terrible just dangling on the wall. Shockingly canvases that small are very expensive. While out running errands I found this canvas, it was actually bright lime green with an blue elephant on it, for only $1! So I grabbed that guy and took him home to my studio and slapped some black paint on it, and mounted my sculpture.
Now imagine a grandma's broach, or grandpa's old wire rimmed glasses, or fishing lure mounted there. Or some really cool keepsake you have found while treasure hunting. Canvas doesn't have to be a place for a painted scene or mounted sculpture it can be whatever you want!
Shelley, You are so smart and creative. Thanks for posting the great ideas using thrift store treasures.
