Does Mr Gogh know you have this? Oh Van's gon' be pissed when he hears (though poorly) what you done!

When in the pursuit of faux fine art, it is important to select the faux finest mediums. So Little Bird in bringing to fruition one of your remaining multi-step birthday gifts, I have done a BIT more research on-lion (roar!) and discovered that the 1/2 hour conversation I had with a semi-retired former government bathroom designer turned art material expert now employed two nights a week at Aaron brothers on Newport Blvd, was a complete waste of time... quel surprise, but thanks anyhow "Precious" (*actual name on name tag) In other words, I bought the wrong stuff.. still good stuff, in fact great stuff, FINE fine STUFF, but not THE stuff needed for our intended purpose of turning a printed poster on the cheap into a lasting work of frame-able art, to fool the less observant masses into believeing that in our little tiny two bedroom rental we DO in fact house an original Vincent Van Gogh oil painting (i.e. Almond Branches In Bloom)
Through the great and trusted source of eHow.com (how to make a poster look like a painting)I have come to discover that there is in fact a medium that little old ladies have been using for decades, maybe even CENTURIES I'd venture a guess, to trick their hapless children and grandchildren into believing that their inheritances would be much more valuable than some 60 dollars in loose change and a haggard collection of lint covered hard candies. Nicely played Grammas but the jig is up and it looks like the home for you!

And what IS this miracle product you ask!
Why it's Crafter's Pick Brush Strokes of course!

Sold at fine Hobby and Craft retailers everywhere and on-line
So it looks like we got some more Shopping to do!
