"Time's fun when you're having flies!"
So says Kermit the Frog.
Without a doubt, this has been one of my all-time favourite projects. This week, a friendly family in Kitchener ordered a scroll painting for their baby boys blueberry-lavendar nursery. Fantastic. A fresh challenge. It looks as if I will be producing a lot more of this media; not only is it fun, the results are not too shabby;)
The canvas is bought from a roll and rather then stretching it over a wooden frame, it is primed so I can paint directly on the fabric without it puckering when dry. A wooden, bronze or iron rod with finials and satin hanging ribbon are added as the finishing touch (I wouldn't hesitate to add sequins, ribbon roses or jewels except this particular scroll will be within baby's reach).
Voila! A regal Prince wall hanging with Kermie quote.
Next weekend at the art show in Toronto, I plan on taking a few more sheets of canvas for these scrolls and doing on-site demos made-to-order. Dragons, pirates, name initials with accents, princesses and Big Top circus themes.....cannot wait to get started!
Sending best wishes and big thanks to the L family and their little Princes (and Prince-to-be!)
