I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!  I finished up a project this weekend that I mentioned in the last post.  But first- the Pinspiration photos.   I knew I didn't want to put the old frames with hot pink mattes back up in the hallway after I repainted it.  As I was scrolling through Pinterest, I kept seeing this black and white abstract art in my feed.  Finally I clicked on it and saw a few others like it.  See below.   They look simple enough to recreate, right?  I mean, I'm no artist and I'm not going to post mine to sell for $904.  But I figured I could at least attempt it on an old canvas I had and if it sucked, well, I'd probably still hang it just like I did the macramé thing.  HAH!   The canvas I have was originally from the upstairs loft when it was a totally different color scheme.  Apparently I was on acid when I decorated the room with this color combo.  Tragic.   The canvas is 30" by 48" so rather large.  It is damaged from being tossed aro
