I was so excited about this image, this canvas is 18x18, so the image itself is about 16 inches high. I took an image from Lisa's Altered Art and I had it blown up. I had to increase the resolution quite a bit so it would print out so clearly, but she's just beautiful!!!
However, this canvas gave me such issues, I'm really going to have to learn calligraphy or something. It took me about 2 weeks of trying to figure out how I was going to get this verse on the canvas. My husband, who has been known for his occasional brilliance when it comes to my art, mentioned tracing paper. DOH!!!! Now why didn't I think of that???? So I printed it out in a font I wanted and traced it onto the canvas and then used a paint marker to color it.
I'm glad I got that figured out finally, however, when life slows down just slightly I'm going to have to delve into the world of calligraphy cause my hand writing sucks.
