Much thought went into this and I finally took the plunge and started cutting.
This is a dish towel I discovered while waiting in line at JC Penney in December.
Obviously, I fell in love with it!
Now, please don't get me wrong.....I LOVE LOVE LOVE dogs too!
For those that keep up with me you already know this.
But I just couldn't resist because I agree 100% with this statement!
I certainly wasn't going to use this as an 'actual' dish towel,
so I decided to frame it and include my precious sweet girls!
Here is Lucy in October 2018:
and Miss Gali in March 2018:
I first spray painted a white 12x12 scrapbook frame with Satin Almond color.
Then I searched online for the perfect 'cadet blue' (blue-gray).....
FOUND IT!
Here it is and what a beautiful color!
After a few coats and allowing proper drying, I then sanded the frame just a bit.
I was really hoping that the almond color would come through, but it didn't.
That's ok though, it still looks lovely!
I also decided the best 'mount' that I could use for the towel was a canvas.
So I grabbed one of my 12 x 12 canvas panels and spray painted it in luscious Coastal Blue.
I didn't want to use glue, so I decided the best way was to use my staple gun.
I spray painted a row of staples to match and it worked beautifully!
I wanted to be able to change the photos in the future so I used Recollections clothespins to hold the photos onto the towel. I raised the photos by placing cardboard underneath for added dimension. Miss Gali is shy and timid and literally looks away most of the time when I have a camera or my iphone in her face! I swear, I'm going to capture those beautiful blue eyes of hers in the right light. I'm determined!
Thanks for visiting and as always........I wish you a wonderful day, Lisa : )
