I Made Something!

Ok, so my friend Mel had a bday party last year. At the party she gave everyone a canvas. But she gave me and another artist friend a larger canvas...

She knows she set me up...

That canvas sat for weeks until I came up with a plan... Then, that plan and canvas sat in my house for over a year. I JUST implemented the plan this weekend...

So, some history... I'm scared to paint. I really think I'd be such a failure. There is a bunch of paint in my house... I havent done anything with it in two years... I do crochet... So I was thinking I could incorporate the two to give to Mel. But this weekend, I decided to forgo the paint and use tissue paper instead. So I used tissue paper and glue! And I crocheted the yarn last year, and set it aside... Good thing I did; it made this weekend easier. My Virgoness works in mysterious ways, lol.

This first pic is the blue, yellow, and white tissue paper starring as the Sky, Sun, and Clouds:

Later, I glued the crocheted chains onto it and outlined the clouds in silver Sharpie. The orginal plan is right next to my tea cup...:

You can see the crocheted pieces and silver lining better in this pic:

I really hope she likes it!
