Initial Art

Pretty much since we moved into our house, I've wanted to put a big piece of statement art above our bed.  This weekend, it's finally finished.

I started with some wooden letters from Michaels.  I covered them with some textured scrapbook paper using Mod Podge.

Next I painted the letters with a medium shade of silver metallic paint.  Then I layered on some Mod Podge to add a bit of texture.  After that dried, I added some shading using lighter metallic paint on the top and darker metallic paint along the edges.

Finally, my husband hung them on the wall along with a large frame (also from Michaels).  I'm really happy with the final results.
