Since I told you I would...

These are some pictures of my art project that I made with some of Grandpa's old photos from the 1920's through the late 1930's. There are also some pictures of my Mom's family from the 1950's/1960's. Tell me what you think!

First, I had to go to Walgreens and make copies of ALL of these pictures! It took an hour and a half. It was better than destroying the originals though...



Then I grabbed a 16 x 20 canvas (I think it was 16 x 20) and two 8 x 10 canvases and painted them black. I bought some plain white buttons to put randomly in between the pictures. After attaching the pictures with double sided tape onto the canvas, I went back through and sewed all the pictures on to the canvases...





Here is the final result!...



Do you like it?

R-Jo, that's AWESOME! You are so creative! I love it. :-)

I can't wait for our house to finally be in order so I can get back to crafting things like that, too.
