Nest...

So many of my favorite blogs have the word "nest" in them. I guess I'm drawn to this particular word because it really describes me. Working at home tends to make me nest in my little corner of the world. So this new eBay painting is dedicated to all of my readers who like to "nest"! This painting is about "nesting" and making your house a home. Each house has it's own unique style and reflects the homeowners personalities.
The edges of the canvas are covered with scrapbook paper that looks like newsprint. The word "Nest" is glued in the center of the painted bracket and then a dimensional glaze is applied over the lettering. Black grosgrain ribbon is tied around the edges of the canvas.
Happy nesting!
