See this little bag...it didn't look like this when Beth at Gathering Dust sent it to me. It was just plain as could be. Well, I spritzed it with a few colors of Glimmer Mist. When it was dry I painted this nest, using metallic paints. I'm going to give this bag away for my "just because" GIVEAWAY!!! Not only am I going to give the bag away...I'm going to put a couple of goodies in it! That part will be a surprise!! So, leave me a message on this post...if you post my giveaway on your blog I'll enter your name twice.
I made this 3" square "Charm", to go on a tree, or a package, or a wall hanging. I painted both sides. I used 300 lb. hot press watercolor paper. I added it to my ebay.
this plaque is something I painted YEARS ago. It's in oils, I didn't have a clue what I was doing.lol. I don't keep to many things that I paint, this is one of the few.
