In keeping with the arts and crafts Tuesday, I read about an idea of putting paint onto a canvas and then having sex on that canvas. The end result is sex art. So here are a couple of recommendations. 1) I wish we'd gotten a cheap shower curtain for our art projects, but I put 2 sheets down and 2 blankets. The paint wound up going through 2 sheets and onto the 1st blanket. A shower curtain would of prevented that. So get a $3 shower curtain for the dollar store. You can tape the canvas to your shower curtain, but know it's probably not going to stay. Also I recommend you doing this on a floor, and not in a bed so that the paints will smear better (that's why I had the blankets underneath for just a small bit of cushion.)
2) I got 2 yards of muslin, 36" wide. I think that was more than enough, but you can make it as big or as small as you want.
3) I recommend you pour the paints on the canvas first and not on you. I think they mix better and actually adhere to the fabric better.
We let the paint dry for 24 hours before I moved the canvas. I'm sure that was over kill, but we wanted to make sure it wouldn't make a mess anywhere else.
I have 2 options for framing that we are going to try. I'm going to get an large embroider ring for a circular mount, and if that doesn't give us the effect we want, I've got a 24"x24" canvas that I'm going to staple gun it to. When we get the final product, I'll post it here.
