Mommy's Art Project

I've had this "art" for Corgan's room in mind for quite a few months, and tonight I finally made myself actually execute it!

It was a pretty simple Eric Carle-inspired piece, but ended up being a little different than what I had initially envisioned. These are two 16"x20" canvases that were first painted orange, then I brushed a brown over that. I found an electric guitar that I liked online, and blew it up to the right size. I chose and cut out the various pieces for the guitar from scrapbook paper, modge-podged it all together, and glued it to the canvas. I'm still debating whether or not to add "strings". We'll see. Strings or not, I'm so freakin' happy with the final product, and think it's going to look perfect in Corgan's modern rockstar room!

I have a couple of other "crafts" that I've been workin' on for the new rooms lately, so be on the lookout for more crafty posts. :)

P.S. I just looked at this post on my blog, and realized it looks like it fits right in with my current blog theme. :)

The last commenter is right. This art would not be cheap in a store. Great idea!!!
