This is lovely! I so love all the distresssing you've done; and how clever to think of using aida - I'll remember that as I have lots of that stuff from my cross-stitching days. Beautiful colour combinations - a great layout! into my Favourites.
I love everything about this! Love the pose and the title -- So smart to use the Aida -- I have a ton of that around here, and I never thought to use it like this!
Oh -- I love the idea of the cross stitching material -- I have lots of that. What a great representation of American gothic -- I love it. The bottle caps are adorable -- I've got to find them. Well done. Fabulous
I love everything about this--what a fun idea! The layering is awesome; I never would have thought to use Aida and I have soooo much lying around!! I think I will be copying you ;)
I love Grant Wood's American Gothic so it was only natural that I would suggest to my husband and daughter that they re-create the pose. We didn't get it exactly right, but I enjoyed a good laugh while taking the picture! The bottle caps are by Spare Parts. The papers are K and Company's Ancestry.com collection. Some of the papers are listed on this site but not the ones I used. The material used at the bottom of the paper is actually Aida cloth used for cross-stitching that I distressed. Don't want to bore anyone with details so I will just post those on my blog.
