There's an Artist in my House - Locker Talk

Yes, there's an Artist in my house - my daughter!

Created this plaque for my daughter who is studying Art Animation and is now in her sophomore year of college.


Kept it simple because after trying a couple different ideas I made more of a mess.
One idea was to use some of daughter's old oil paints.
I had paint all over my fingers as well as part of the project in the wrong places.














Entering this into following challenges:
