Bubble Art

As we all know by now, Pinterest has completely taken over every aspect of life. We can find anything! Look out Google...Pinterest may have you beat soon! (Kidding)

One of the first things I ever pinned was an incredibly simple DIY art tutorial...for kids. Granted I have three little kiddos of my own, I just thought it was cool and wanted to do it myself. =)

I had a little trouble mixing the colors and the bubbles, so they arent as vibrant as I had hoped. But now that summer has come around and there are bubbles-a-plenty around for the kids, I'll have to take another crack at it =)

It makes me think of those huge Jawbreakers!

Dimitri...Canvas

Sometimes, there are things that only make sense to me and maaaybe one other person. (That I actually know.) The movie Dr. Strangelove and some of the quotes from it is one of those things. =)

Take a plain canvas.

Select the size lettering you want. I used 2 or 3 inch Vinyl stickers.

Its advisable to use a ruler to get your letters even...but I was in a hurry that day!

To make my canvas at least a little different from all the others like this out there, I took heavy gloss gel...

And added paint to it.

This gives you more thickness and texture. (I'm all about me some texture.)

Because Dr Strangelove is about a bomb, I wanted it to look rough and in some ways mimic an explosion.

Once the yellow was dry, I painted over the center and letters with black.

Carefully I peeled away the letters once the whole thing was dry.

Its a great way to make something like an inside joke, favorite quote or lyric into "art" that you can put up in your home...and get a smile out of every time you see it! =)

Happy Creating!
