Did I tell you I'm smart....okay maybe not, but I'm thrifty

I just remembered what I was thinking as I fell asleep last night..... I have an ugly ass framed piece of "art" that the neighbor gave me after he was given it by the previous owners of my house. I can't toss it, he's a trash picker.... but I've been wanting to do a painting/collage and been planning on buying a canvas. Duh. Use what you have genius, save a gesso bucket and fabric....
