Yarn Paintings

Hi Y'all! So I like to do a lot of DIY projects on my spare time for fun. I also think its good to know how to do your own projects for when you live on your own as a way to make your house a home without spending big bucks, and still having fun and having a creative outlet! The project below incorporates both acrylic and yarn:)

(What you'll need)

1. Canvas
2. Acrylic paint of your choice
3. Yarn of your choice
4. Masking or paper tape
5. A hot glue gun or your choice of craft glue
6. A sponge brush

  Step 1: The first thing you need to do is use your masking tape to make shapes on your Canvas board until satisfied.

  Step 2: Use your sponge brush to paint in the shapes you made with the paper tape.

 Step 3: Wait sometime after you've fully coated all of the shapes made with the paper tape so the paint has time to dry.

 Step 4: After all sections are dry; begin to gently remove all paper tape from canvas.

(Your Canvas should now look something like this)

 Step 5: This step is an additional step that you can add in if you'd like. I decided to outline my shapes in black because a few of my shapes turned out messy but if your lines turn out clean, feel free to leave it that way.

 Step 6: Let black paint dry before next step if you decided to use step 5.

 Step 7: For the last step take your yarn and spell out a word that you'd like on the canvas or shape and glue it down with your hot glue gun/craft glue.

Once you've finished up, just hang it where you please and enjoy your new one of a kind art!:)

Lana Del Rey - Brooklyn Baby Inspiration






                        

                      

Hi guys! So, I've had Brooklyn Baby by Lana Del Rey stuck in my head all day, and so I decided I would make a sort of inspiration post. It's really just things I pictured while listening to the song. I'm a very big Lana fan, She has a way about her that I don't think I've seen in any other music artist, she can just make you feel so much and I love that about her. Let me know if you guys like this sort of thing and I'll be sure to do more in the future (BTW none of the photos used were mine)!:)

New Beginnings

My name is Josh. I am a very changing person so I have to say that this is not in fact my first blogger account. However, the last account just didn't feel right to me so I decided I'd start over. I'll most likely be blogging my own fashion pictures as well as some DIY projects and maybe even some of my personal art from time to time. A big mistake that I made on my last blog was not being personal enough in my opinion. So I decided to share some about myself. I am and have always been very family oriented, I love my family to death, which is just a warning if you see multiple family posts scattered about upon my other blog posts. I also love anything and everything magical and fantastical which I do try to bring out occasionally in the way I dress and such. I have a good feeling about this new blog and I hope this feeling is right:)
