Colorful Canvas

Do you ever feel like you need a fun project?  And I don't mean cleaning out your closet, although sometimes that is enjoyable to me.
Anyway, I saw this idea on The Pleated Poppy (you should click and see hers first) and really wanted to create one for our home.

A mix of brown, gold, white, and gray.

Casey helped me with the geometry part of it.  He is very precise and has a steady hand.

I bought a 24 inch ruler with a metal straight edge.  It was nice to have around.

Our squares are 2 inches by 2 inches because we used a 4 inch circle.  According to Lindsey, you half your circle for the squares. 

We used a protractor to trace our circles.   

Now for the most time consuming/fun part.

I really like the neutral colors - the black, white, brown, and gray really make the canvas "pop" in my opinion.  As you can maybe tell from this photo, I had to do a second coat for some of the colors.

Here is the finished product! I love color.  You should have seen my freshman dormroom.

Not sure which way I want it to hang yet.

One thing is for sure, the old nails it is hanging on nail are not level...Oh well, easily fixed.
