Chandelier Art! {LoVe it!}

How awesome is this?!! I came across this FuN art idea over @ {The White House}! Michele made this from a large canvas that she found at the thrift store...painted it cream...then placed a vinyl decal on. Then, did a dry brush technique over the whole canvas...then peeled off the decal! Brilliant!!

You can check out more info on this FaBuLouS project... HERE!

Michele...thanks for sharing this FuN idea!
