I've been wanting to make a word collage of my daughter and son-in-law's last name for their new house. You may have seen sites online for all kinds of photographs of typography but I didn't want to print them myself. Several weeks ago I was browsing through Hobby Lobby and in the framing department they had these 4x6 postcards (in both black and white and full color) for each letter of the alphabet. I picked up four to spell their name (Motz) but then spent weeks searching for the right size frame, to no avail. I finally found a funky, girly canvas on sale for half-price - white with colorful flowers and butterflies all over. (Wish I'd taken a "before" photo!)
It was the perfect size so I painted it black and then decoupaged the postcards on the canvas with Mod Podge. After it was dry, I added another coat of Mod Podge over the entire canvas, including the postcards. I wasn't sure if the inks would run, but they didn't and my canvas turned out awesome! Can't wait to give it to them.
