Trompe l'oel

One of my favourite things used to be trompe l'oel. I have seen some amazing ones on google (also murals)
As we have downsized we dont have a lot of room for ornaments etc so painted this to go over the doorway in the hall (no dusting...method in my madness!) The cat that I painted was on a small hardboard screen that I made to go around a plant pot, but as nowhere to put it now so cut the cat out and put him in amongst the 'pots'.

  4. This is fun! I wouldn't be surprised if something like this, painted on board and cut around, would sell at craft fairs or on-line.
