Harry Potter Canvas Subway Art

I just finished this project last night. I have to say I love how it turned out! We are huge Harry Potter fans in this house, so, after finding a similar idea online (it was a digital print found HERE on etsy) I decided to make it into a canvas subway art project for my sons room. I used a 16x20 canvas. I mixed gesso and a tiny amount of light tan acrylic paint to prepare the background surface. I wanted it to look a little "aged", so I made it look a bit streaky. I even used my fingers and rubbed some of the tan color around the edges. I let it dry completely, and then started to place the vinyl lettering on. If you've ever tried putting vinyl on canvas, it's a pain. The gesso really helps in giving the vinyl a little more to adhere to. That's the best way I can describe it. :)

I printed the vinyl in three colors. The chocolate brown was done in one piece, the tan and burgundy were printed out and then placed on in separate pieces. I sealed the entire canvas with a good coating of matte mod podge. I may add a little more of an "aged" look to the edges, but for now, I am in love with it! I'm pretty sure my son is going to love seeing it hanging on his bedroom wall!

You are my sunshine

My brothers little girl, Ava, was diagnosed with a brain stem tumor at the age of 3. She is a little miracle child. She is adorable. She is precious. She is an angel.

I made this canvas for her, as well as another one for a fund raiser they had. I cut the paper to 12' widths, and then mod podged them onto the canvas. I applied the vinyl, and then distressed the edges with an antiqued pink color. I then put another coat of mod podge, in satin finish, to seal everything. So adorable....just like Ava.

I heard her singing this song one morning, and when I peaked into the room, she was running her fingers along the words as she sang.

Ava...you are MY sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You will never know dear, how much I LOVE YOU!

Harry Potter Quote by Dumbledore

In honor of my son, who is quite consumed with Harry Potter movies right now, I found this quote by Albus Dumbledore. I have gone through some darker times in my life, because of the trials we've been given. This is a great reminder...

Vinyl lettering is available to purchase!

Dots...Dots...and more Dots

My family finally has a baby girl to spoil. My brother and his wife had their precious baby Ava Dawn, and I was able to do this room for her "long distance". It is adorable, just like Ava!

I love using the solid and open dots. Mixing them together looks great!
