DIY Ombre Art Expedit Doors

OK.  So I think my internet problem has been resolved.  It is still a mystery to what the problem was, but it seems to have fixed it's self.  Hopefully, it stays that way.

I have been extremely busy this week.  Spring has finally graced us with it's presence and I wanted to take full advantage of it before it gets crappy again.  After glancing at my weather app on my iPad, I saw beautiful weather for several days.  That meant it was time to tackle a huge project that we had planned.  Painting the exterior of our house.  So that is what I have been up to every day, all day long.  I am completely exhausted, but it is looking really good.  I can't wait to show you.  I even had random passerby's yell out of their car that it was looking good.  Yay!

The office/craft room has been put on hold due to painting the house.  But I did manage to do a quick and easy art project.

I made 4 ombre art pieces.  I had a lot of fun painting them.  I felt like an artist while I was painting them because there was no stencil, it is all free hand.  I don't have any artistic ability at all, but this was so easy that I couldn't mess it up.

I used left over paint and 12x12 canvases that I bought in a 7 pack from Michael's.  With a medium size brush, start with the original paint color, paint a straight line.  Then add a little bit of white paint to your colored paint and paint another straight line.  Keep adding more white paint for every stripe.  The darker colors show the ombre effect better.  The turquoise ombre is very slight.

I attached these to my Expedit like I did here and here.  They  are hiding our printer and scanner.

Also, I disabled anonymous comments due to a high volume of spam comments.  Hopefully, I can go back to having anyone comment after awhile.  I hope that doesn't effect too many people.

See you tomorrow for another link party.
