Wooden Letter Quote

I combined a couple techniques I've found. Trying to decide if I like it...

Thoughts?

I found a quote I liked and bought some wooden letters

I also had a couple of flowers I had doodled

Sorry for the lack of the next few pictures. I grabbed an
extra canvas and mod podged some phone book pages to
the canvas (I have to use the Yellow Pages for something).
I then painted over the phone book in white. Don't worry
about trying to smooth the pages down.

Once my paint dried I went over the canvas with some sandpaper.
The wrinkles of the phone book will ware off.

Glue down your wooden letters

I enlarged my flower doodle

And traced a copy onto the canvas

I then went over the flower with white paint

Almost done!

A little hard to see but I watered down some brown
paint and covered the canvas in small sections. Before
the paint dried I wiped off the excess paint. This will
give it an aged look

All done!

Doodle time

I'm pretty sure if I ever went missing you all would be able to track me down simply by looking for the scrap pieces of paper with doodles all over it. My desk at work is covered with paper that's been doodled on... sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it. (Note to self: Keep all contracts, invoices, etc out of my reach!)

Below is the result of an hour long conference call. As crazy as it sounds, once they're over 15-30 minutes I have to find something to keep me focused. Doodling helps! Nothing spectacular here but I realized I had filled up my whole page and didn't leave any room for notes. Whoops!
