Another Easy Art Project & Completed Vignette

I was inspired when I saw this from Domestically Speaking

I really loved this pillow. But considering I can't sew, I knew this would be a no-go!

So I thought, maybe I could paint a starfish onto burlap and frame it. Easy art? So I did!

First, I traced a starfish I already have with chalk onto burlap. 

Then I painted a starfish with white acrylic paint on to the burlap. I kinda free-handed it.  It's not perfect. But is a starfish really perfect?

Then I framed it. Cute I thought!

Now I'll show you my completed summer vignette. If you remember it started with this:

And now it is this:

I added some rope along the tray and throughout the candles and shells. As well I added the wild grass and the sticks. The twine balls were added and the spray painted jars. Voila! It's complete! Do you like it?

I'd love to hear your comments!
