I've blogged about making new art out of your old art in this tutorial, and I decided to do it again with my roosters combined with some other older art of mine to make some fun pieces.
I used these canvases from Dick Blick again--9 x 9 gallery wrapped with very deep 2 3/8 inch sides--which is my favorite part of these canvases, because you can continue your story on them--
And I always love to add the vintage embellishments like the bingo pieces and the brass stencils, and also these.....
This was an old kitchen utensil--I guess you would call it a hand mixer? I cut it in half and spray-painted the steel mixer part black--they made for cute little knobs for the tops of these canvases.
And here's another thing I did with my roosters--I put them on these wooden houses that I purchased from Carla in her Etsy shop Indian Doll Art Works.
I really like these houses and they fit perfectly in the reverse side of the gallery wrapped canvases. In this case, I put them in a wood cradle board--basically the same thing.
which, of course, I had to add a little collage to ; )
....and when I was finished with all of these, I put them all toghether--
I just LOVE all of this color--in my case...more is definitely more!
And the giveaway that I want to tell you about is Manon's at her blog Art by Manon Popjes. She is generously giving away 3 pieces and here is one of them--
