Days of Halloween GIVEAWAY Day 5: Birds of a Feather

Hey everyone!  Here's another easy peasy Halloween/fall project!  Don't hesitate to “take a risk” or “go out on a limb” or “lay it all in the line” for this bird on a wire art project.  Birds on a wire aren't inherently creep in the Halloween sense.  However, break it down further...  Russian roulette, unhealthy risk, mild signs of suicidal ideation.  There you go.  Creepy, right?!  
Tool/materials: Burlap canvas.  I found these in a variety of sizes from a store that rhymes with Fal-wart.  Next, a pencil, black craft paint, and a small paint brush.  Finally, HI CHEWS!  I can't function without them; thank you Jesus for the big bag at Costco...  Only $6.49 a bag!!!
Step 1: Set up your work space; paint tray, cup of water, and all other supplies.

Step 2:
Lightly trace your design using the pencil.  Tip, a soft lead pencil will show up better on the burlap.
 
Step 3: Fill in with black paint...  Or any other color for that matter.  Burlap is neutral and natural so it will work in a variety of spaces and schemes.  Painting this silhouette in red, turquoise, sunny yellow, would also look amazing.
