Lessons in Layers

DIY: Custom Wall Art

Yeah, just take that in for a second.  This was an exercise in layers and patience.  In order, it is 2-3 layers of off-white acrylic paint, vinyl "ENGLISH", a thin layer of Modge Podge (matte), then 2-3 layers of tan acrylic paint. After it fully dried, I removed the "ENGLISH" vinyl, then added a healthy layer of Modge Podge.  The Modge Podge makes an excellent base for the final layer of red vinyl, which will not be removed.  The ENGLISH is a modified Garamond font (I think) and the blessing is Channel from DaFonts.

I was really pleased with how this turned out.  I found that Modge Podge helps with adhering vinyl to canvas because it makes the canvas less 'bumpy'.  It made a wonderful custom gift!
