I wanted to create something like the glittering lightscape canvas that I posted the other day as a christmas gift for my sister in law. I used one of her photos she posted on her facebook profile and converted it via photoshop. I then used my projector to outline the image on canvas and marked [...]

My mom is a world traveler tho she travels mostly for business but thats not to say that she doesn’t enjoy traveling, she thrives on them!
