New Birdie for Ebay...it will also include the little itty bitty charm...This is similar to the charm I am giving away...check the previous post and leave me a message. A little silver plate that I painted.
This is a larger charm. I hand painted this PINK cupcake on watercolor paper.
The back side of the cupcake
A pair of wooden salt and pepper shaker that I hand painted PINK roses.
How cute is this little helper!! My plan is to go back tomorrow and add sparkly fairy dust.
I ordered these goodies through Etsy and I tried them out last night...wow! great tools. I had an OLD cutter, I love this one! see the itty bitty squares?? I cut those and made the itsy bitsy charm
I painted this adding metallic paints, this is going to out to a special friend. Hope she'll like it.
Beth at Gathering Dust, can find the most interesting goodies. She had these bags...so I bribed her by telling her if she gave me one...I'd paint one for her...so this is going in the mail tomorrow
The story behind this...It was all painted, ready for varnish...thought I would use the spray varnish that bubble up one of my panels...So....I gave it a REAL GOOD SHOT of spray...ooops, it wasnt varnish, it was white spray paint...lol...so I had to repaint it. I'm putting this on my etsy.
I thought I would share a work in progress, this is one of those mirrors from Ikea, I thought it might be fun to paint on so I got a couple. The little plate is going FALL.
Smiling Sally is putting on a Blue Monday. I haven't gotten her button put on yet.
Just a few of my blue things.... Update on my varnish.... It still looks wrinkled in a large area, I finished it used brush on varnish, I think it will be ok...I really dont think anyone will notice.
I have lots to share today..all my pictures are mixed up, so I'll take you through them. The top picture is something that is new to me. Lisa Kaus had us use it in her class. It is a really thick white paint. I used it to highlight and finish my white daisies.
I finished the panels. Took them to the garage to spray varnish...I forgot...when using spray varnish on metal...not a good idea. It started bubbling in one section. I'll finish it with brush on varnish. I'm almost scared to go check on them...
The other fun thing I did was go to a antique show... my friend Martha Kohley from Vintage Trifles was there...thankfully she saw me, I didn't know there were more vendors inside...Well, Martha had the most beautiful display!!! She does the most fabulous collages. I fell in love with her pumpkins!
Isn't her sign just the cutest. It was a little chilly outside and she had a toasty coat on and asked for me not to take her picture.
Here are a few things I have done in the past...I'll try to be more prepared next week with new things!! Have a great Saturday everyone!
I mentioned a book that I bought recently, Taking Flight. I have poured over the instructions, I absorb as much as i can, then I take all the info and work with it...so this is what I came up with, when I paint I am so structured, the last few years I have worked on...not staying "within the lines" and "thinking outside the box", this is all of that. I used bubble wrap, stamps, smudging, gouging and just making a mess...SO MUCH FUN!!Then I wanted a bow and it wasnt the right color so I painted and painted it...it still didn't match...so I went the other route and added the col of the bow to the painting. I really like how it turned out. Please, let me know what you think.
Last night I put a picture on my blog and wrote a little something, I had some very nice comments. I wanted to edit the picture only and I deleted what I said and all the nice comments. I took another photo at the hotel hoping it would look better, so please trust me, it does look better in person then in my photos.
