Birdie for my Bathroom

So the hubby was complaining last night that he made me a BEAUtiful new bathroom..

and that I have done NOTHING to decorate it and make it look Pretty!

So while we were at Marshalls, I saw this cute bird painting..

and of course rather than buying it I snapped a quick picture and figured that I could paint it myself.   And then I did! See!

Obviously it is a bit different.. but I don't want to complete steal someone else's work.. it was a wonderful inspiration though!

Here's how I made it.. in case you like my little birdie too.

I started with my canvas and some magazine pages.

Then I tore them into pieces and Mod Podged them onto the canvas.

It looked like this when it was completely covered.

While the Mod Podge dried I drew the shape of the bird and the branch.

Then I cut it out.

Next I traced a frame that had fancy edges.

Then I cut out the center to make a sweet border.

Once the magazined canvas was dry, I painted it with red, black and blue.

Then I Mod Podged my birdie, branch and border.

Last I added a cute scroll to the top as per the request of the Hubby.

Here's how it will look in the bathroom someday when it gets hung up.

Now I just have to get the hubby to make me a frame for it!

Happy Friday!

I am sharing with these awesome parties

Love,
