art over art :: diy

i've wanted to try painting over an old piece of artwork for a while, but have never found just the right piece. until yesterday! i had spontaneously stopped by goodwill to pick up a few things and came upon his pretty little lady. what do you think?!

i have to admit i was a little nervous. i actually liked her as is, so i was a bit afraid i'd ruin her. i think she turned out pretty cute in the end though!

this is a fun idea for adding some interesting pieces to your walls. if you do try it however, make sure you do a little research on the original artwork first. it would be a shame to paint over something well known & worth a bit. xo
