A week or so ago Wade bought some new jeans for work and was going to throw out a few old pairs that had holes in them. I told him to save them because I had a plan.
Finally on my long weekend I got around to trying some things out. I completed 3 different projects. This first one you may have seen on facebook
I cut a piece of the leg off the jeans and brushed on some gesso. Once that was dry I started painting. I have a stash of bits and bobs that I went through and found the piece of muslin that I had stamped the "follow your dreams" on and I used some matte gel to adhere it to the painted denim. Once everything was dry I plopped it in a frame.
I'll show you another project tomorrow and then a third has to be mailed out and reach it's destination before I post it.

Hi Ann, Oh I love this! How creative. Love the texture of the jeans thru the paint. Looks so good framed.
Looking forward to you sharing more.
All it takes is a bit of imagination and you've got plenty of that here. I love it.

Honestly Ann! I just love this piece! You are very talented! I have always wanted to work with gesso...just haven't had the chance to try it yet. Happy Saturday!
it really is so pretty and I love anything that is recycle or upcycle, and this is both... can't wait to see the others.
What a good idea and you made use of a throw away. Well done Ann.
Way cool. You are so very talented. Waste not, want not.
Have a fabulous day off. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
I did see this on FB - and it is charming. The frame suits it very well. I'm not going to natter on about your creativity and imagination because I do that all the time -
I love that!
That is such a neat idea!
Like it real well. My daughter made a huge rug from old jeans, but the weight was prohibitive to mail to her friend she wove it for.
You did a great job on this, and so creative. I love projects with old jeans and I'm looking forward to seeing your next one :)
such a cute idea! you're such a doer! :) looking forward to seeing more. :)
happy Sunday!
