EAT book page and utensil sign


The idea for this art has been rolling around in my head for awhile now. And actually the project sat half finished on my kitchen counter for days. I love how it turned out though.



I took a few canvases that my daughter had around her room and was doing nothing with. I bribed her with money and bought them off of her. The canvases had flowers on them, so I painted a few coats of cream paint on the canvas first. Then I took some book pages from one of the books in my collection and mod podged them down.

I had a collection of children's silverware (yep, that stuff is the real deal) that is eons old (still had the box) that I found when we moved. I got it out of my husband's great aunts basement when we were preparing her home for her estate sale after her death years ago.


I added the vinyl word EAT to the bottom of one of the canvases (cuz that's what you do with silverware!)


And put them above my pantry door.


I was even pleasantly surprised to see that some scripture was included on the pages I used. Totally random...and totally awesome.
