From A Blouse Into An Art Work

I hope you have a great weekend !
Ours was relaxing and not much going on. We went to a local farmer market and did some yard selling.
 
I have this blouse for a long time. It was a gift from a sweet friend back in NY. But it was getting small on me.
 
And I like the art work on it, the birds and the color. I have this frame I got from Goodwill.
I have this idea that I will cut out the birds work and put it on this frame.

I spray paint the frame with yellow paint which is I already have.


Ready for the frame. Isn't beautiful or what. I'm surprise how it turned out even without the frame.



I love how the blue and yellow works. Now I have another art works that meant a lot to me. A nice blouse from a friend turned into something special in our spare bedroom.

    This is really smart. I picked up a dress with this kind of embroidery and I wasn't sure what to do with it (because it so doesn't fit me).
