Recently, Target launched a whole arts and crafts line called Homemade Modern. I have visited Target several times since the arts and crafts line launched and this week I finally gave in to give a few items a try!
As some of you know I love painting canvases typically in a abstract style and with Liquitex brand acrylic paints. To test out the new Target brand Homemade Modern I decided I’d paint a canvas and try out their acrylic paint, foam brushes and chipboard stencils.
HERE IS MY PROJECT:
Time to get painting!
Handmade Modern Acrylic Paint: Avocado in a satin finish
Handmade Modern Acrylic Paint: Robin’s Egg in a satin finish 
Ombre wash of Avocado and Robin’s Egg 
Handmade Modern Acrylic Paint: Sterling in a metallic finish 
Handmade Modern Chipboard Stencil: Heirringbone 
Humm…
Ugh……:( The chipboard stencil left behind specks of chipboard!!! I had two options; trash the canvas now and call it quits or continue on and concider it a Happy Accident. 
Happy Accident it is! I decided to leave the chipboard specks in there and it turns out it gave the piece a sort of vintage/worn look!!!
As it turned out I liked the Happy Accident I encountered during this project and I’m glad I continued the piece to the end. As for the Target Arts and crafts line Handmade Modern I think I’ll stick with Liquitex brand acrylic paint instead and you already know I WON’T Be using or purchasing their chipboard stencils again! That was a mess and I happily threw the stencil in the trash as SOON as I was done!
Bob Ross use to say, “There are no mistakes in art only Happy Accidents!”

thank you so much! xoxo Amanda
