Over the weekend Steve and I attended my highschool girlfriend's wedding and it inspired me to add a little more love into my own life. So as another lazy Sunday came around I headed to the art store to grab some supplies. I wanted to create a piece to fill an empty corner in our living area.
I attached each of the letters with the hot glue gun and with a little white spray paint with self primer I was well underway. I wanted to keep it all white to create an embossed feel.
I'm getting much better at spray painting. My first attempt taught me the importance of keeping a decent distance, while having enough newspaper underneath to avoid painting the garden another shade AGAIN. It took about three coats and a couple of hours drying time and I was done. The spray paint had a gloss finish so it ended up with a really nice shine to it. I think next time, though, I'd like to use some lace or doily to create more of an effect under the lettering, maybe even try it in grey like this.
