school art project

{This post is for my proposal in my Professional Development in the Arts Class. I'm pitching my mural in the hallways project idea and need some visuals! Plus you get to see some more pinterest lovelies.} 

Love,

let's get crafty

I found this image on pinterest,

and took it as inspiration for a wall in my room.

My mom and I took a mini road trip on Friday, (I drove the whole way!) to Nanton and through Okotoks. I found 5 old frames at a thrift store in Nanton for 5 dollas. I picked out some acrylics at Michael's and got painting. 

The next step was to use magnetic paint and cover the back pieces of the frame. Some were empty frames, so I had to cut out pieces out of thin wood and painted them.

The finished product! I had a shelf where that necklace holder board is, so I used it to cover up the knarly holes leftover in the wall.

The quote on the magnet is "You do not find the happy life, you make it." -Camilla Kimball

This stichery was in a nasty looking gold frame, so I spruced it right up with some green paint. 

This weekend project also counted as a divine nature project. I'm more than halfway finished with my Personal Progress (the second time). I also finished reading the Book of Mormon yesterday, I just love that book!
