31 Days of Pinterest: Day 20 Circle Wall Art

I found the inspiration for this on Pinterest, from a picture that had been pinned from West Elm.

I had an extra small canvas left over from a 2-pack I'd purchased at Michael's, so I thought I'd give it a go.

But, I didn't want to paint it. I know...me not want to paint? What gives?

Actually, I didn't want to have to rinse out my brush after I was done. Too much work.

Then I looked at the original some more and thought, "Huh. I bet Sharpie markers would work OK. And if not...well, I pick another project."

So I got everything I needed together.

The canvas, a medium tip black Sharpie, a fine tip black Sharpie, and 3 different sizes of round things to draw around.

Oh, and Izzy, who woke up from her nap long enough to come see what I was doing.

I didn't have a plan as to what circles should go where. I just took one of the things and traced the outline.

I noticed that the fine-tip Sharpie was unevenly worn, so it was making the lines skip in places, which is fine.

All in all, this took me about 5 minutes. I wasn't going for perfect, I was going for done. One of the things that I know about myself is that if I overthink something, I will NEVER FINISH. I get too caught up in the perfectionism, which also ruins the fun for me.

So, it's not exactly like the original, but it's OK anyway.
