I thought I'd share a little peek at how the canvas wall blocks are created! Its really fun to look at the starting and ending points, because they're SO different! But first, here's a look at my "studio" which is really just a closet in our computer room that I took over ;)
Its not much to look at, but when I spin my chair around from my computer desk to work, I'm all business. Having a separate work area for crafts has really made a difference. When I first started Little Champ's Art (a whole two months ago - phew!) I was camped on the kitchen table and had to pack everything up when I was done painting. It was a pain. And 9 out of 10 times, I just left my mess for the cat to get into or for my boyfriend to roll his eyes about. This way I can just close the door and the mess is magically gone!
Okay, so here's step-by-step of how the canvas wall blocks transform from blank white squares to explosions of color and cuteness!
Now wasn't that fun?! I always get a kick out how crappy and uneven my letters look in the first step, and then I chunk them out and they're awesome. Yup, I'm being vain, but I'm proud of my work ;) I've also realized that until I get to the last step with outlining and highlighting, I'm convinced that the whole thing looks awful.
At what point during your creative process do you have that "a-ha" moment when you realize that what you're attempting will actually work? Is it the last step, like me?

I love that you are showing us the process... so neat to see it step by step!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait till I have a little one and need a set of name blocks!!!!
You just make it look so simple. 1-2-3...voila! You're stuff is so cute and I love how organized your space is.
ReplyDeleteBooBooZoo - Thanks! I had fun stopping after each phase and taking photos. I'm shocked I didn't skip a step, because usually once I start going its hard to stop until I'm finished!
ReplyDeleteAnd the blocks aren't just for kids! I can do them up with your last name, or any phrase (like the "family" or "love" blocks)
**ending sales pitch now** hehe
TheGoodOleDays - I wish is were that simple! But then again, it wouldn't be as fun to do, I guess. Thank you so much! <3
ITs only organized because I cleaned it up for the photo... but shhh ;)
