Chicken Wire Rooster Art

Everyone has a project or two that they completed pre-Blogging days!  Some of those projects never had the chance to see their names in big lights.

That is until NOW!  A new party is being launched today.

I’ll be join in on the fun with this oldie but goodie.

Okay… It was tough to decide which pre-blogging project that I would show you but this one came to mind first, so here it is.

I bought a set of rooster prints from allposters.com

Chicken-wire-matting

Cut a mat to fit and wrapped it with chicken wire.

I had my dad make some custom frames.  These days I would have made the frame myself.   I’ve come a long way with the help of my Dad.   Thanks Dad.

Hope you enjoyed an oldie but goodie!

  1. How very creative to use the chicken wire with these prints. It certainly is darling and gives the pictures such a element of interest!

  2. I love this project! What a great idea to use the chicken wire for the rooster prints! I love seeing the evolution, too. I have a few of those projects around the house, where I had help with it the first go around, but would just tackle it myself now, or have the 14yo be my helper to pay it forward.

    Thanks so much for the great big shout out. You're the best!

  10. Great idea using chicken wire! Your framed roosters are all the more cuter because of it.

    I've seen a couple projects in blogland recently using chicken wire and, after seeing your post, it's definitely something I'd like to try to incorporate into crafting.

    Cheers,

  12. That adds so much character and makes the mat a part of the art, instead of just a 'surround.' Great idea!
