Fun & Fabulous Black Photo Canvas

Being a hobby photographer I love finding creative ways to display some favorite photos. This is a quick and easy way to mount your photos on canvas in only 5 steps, while giving it a fresh and fun look.

Step 1: Paint the edges of your photos with black paint.

( I simply use black acrylic artist paint).

Step 2: Cover the face surface with Modge Podge.

Step 3: Mount the photo onto the canvas and press until secure.

Step 4: Using black paint; feather around the edges of the photo to blend together.

(let dry before the next step)

Step 5: Cover the photo and sides with Modge Podge.

(I like to brush Modge Podge on diagonally, then after it dries I re-brush onto the photo in the opposite direction to add dimension and texture).

Step 5: Dry, Hang and Enjoy!

Here are other photo canvases I've done....

(Please excuse the chewed up wall, our kitchen (& drywall) is in desperate need of repair)

What do you think of my project? Is this something you would try?

My Sweet Dogs

Anyone who knows me, knows my dogs have a special place in my heart. In fact, I take hundred's of pictures each month, and they are always the main subject... I cannot help myself, they are adorable! So I have decided to share some of these pictures and reflect on the many years of joy they have brought me.

Niko is the mama's boy, he is the dog attentively looking toward me. Jax on the other hand is always looking for fun and adventure, he makes us laugh all the time! He was probably getting ready to chase a farm cat when this picture was taken!

When it is nice out, we frequently spend our afternoons outside walking, exploring, sitting, listening, reading and enjoying ourselves. They are always willing...Dogs make life great!

The Newness of Spring!

In Iowa, sometimes spring is long in coming. However, I love the renewal and refreshing my spirit experiences when things start to wake-up, grow and change.
