My First Attempt at "Art"

My friend Tom had a good idea for home decorating: make other people do it for you! It's pretty genius! He supplied the canvas and told everyone to make art on theirs. I feel very nervous around canvas and paints, but I found a neat alternative. I Googled around a bit and came up with this piece:

Put a bird on it!

It required very little painting, but a lot of patience. I used a USA Today as the base layer because they use color in their articles. After modge-podging all the newspaper on, I drew out my branch and birds. Followed with a black acrylic paint. I could have also used a sharpie to make this project totally paint free, but I was already pretty high from the glue...

So I guess now I can say I'm an interior decorator?
