dogs have OWNERS ~ cats have STAFF

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 : )
