A Failed Tutorial: Elmers Glue Art

Okay,
So this project looked way cooler on
           pinterest,
than what mine turned out to be.

{I guess that's why I blog right..
so you don't make my same mistakes?!}

I'm kinda sad. Oh well :)

...anyways!
Elmers glue art.
Pretty self explainatory...

MATERIALS:
* Canvas
* Elmers Glue
* Paint {I used spray paint... at first}

To start:
     I drew lightly with pencil
        what I wanted to outline in glue.
{I decided to write
"Do more of what makes you happy"
{I would not advise doing a quote... }
       & also a seperate design}

I messed up a couple times
               &&  lightly erased the lines.
{I didn't worry about them too much
        because I knew I'd paint over them}

After your done drawing
outline everything in glue.

HERE'S WHERE I MESSED UP:
- Keep in mind the amount of glue that you
squeeze matters... I tried to put a consistent amount
out... but when it dried... it was still squiggly :(

Now..
being the problem solver that I am...
I figured I could just put another coat of glue on everything
to even out the lines..
                  Looks good right?
                               WRONG.

      DO NOT DO WHAT I DID.
                    {it did not help...}

So after two coats of glue,
my quote was still hard to read.
       {Boooo... What now?!}

   Well I needed to paint it
so maybe that might help
        my quote stand out more.
&& not look so messy.

Attempted the spray paint.
            ...It was terrible.
Didn't spray right, wasn't even working,
didn't cover my pencil lines...
         {You've gotta be kidding me right?!}

PART 2:
After deciding Elmers glue wasn't going to be the end of me,
&& taking a couple day's break from this horrific project,
                     I was ready to conquer this canvas.

MATERIALS II:
* Paint
* Paint brush or roller {I used a roller}
* Paint thinner {Optional, I used it}
* Small cup for mixing

Okay taking this slow...
      Paint the canvas, Easy enough right?

...Two coats of paint later,
the design looks good...
but my quote is still an
              Epic Fail.

{Maybe hanging it on my wall will make it look better...}
                           AKA: Can this project get any worse?!

Can you even see that...
                 be honest.
{"Barely"
           -Yeah that's what I thought.
                            it's in "high contrast" too... }

      By this time
I'm literally cussing at my wall.
-I guess not every project is as easy as it seems,
&& "Elmers glue on canvas"
                  is terribly decieving.

Awesome.
I have a 24x36'' canvas
           that looks like nothing

SHARPIES!
{Sharpies fix everything}

Armed with a bold tipped sharpie,
           I'm determined to slay this Elmer's art.
{or at least make it stand out for gosh sakes}

An hour later I'm done outlining
          "Do More"
&& my sharpie dies.
I'm uber thrilled to make
another trip to the store
for this f***ing stupid project.
                    ...UGH!

{To be completely honest:
               I even hate blogging about this...
        that's why it's taken me so long to post!}

Okay.
Four. Count em... 4. Four. IV.
sharpies later along with
                  five long hours...

It's donezo...
                Boom.

The project from hell is
      put to the ultimate test

{to be hung on the wall and look decent}

Eh... Meh... Sure... Maybe... Pushing it...

                              ...Nope.

Maybe there will be a
Part Three
               someday,
where I wash the whole canvas
                abstract style
with a light lime/yellow green
that's accented in my room.

Or maybe
I just paint my whole wall in my room
so the painting finally stands out.

FFF this.
