I've been crafty

 

 

 

I've discovered it's okay to get paint on your hands

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've also discovered mixed media!

This is a recycled "canvas" from work.

A box, the size of a canvas, that would have been thrown away.

 

.... just the beginning of a mixed media piece

This pig is not cute.

I got her at Goodwill for $3.00.

I took her button eyes off, unscrewed the hook on her nose, took off the tape/price tag from her behind and gave her a good sanding and then some kilz spray paint.

I'm thinking she'll look cute with a chevron pattern painted on her.

 

What do you think?

Before and After Yellow Frame

               BEFORE....

         AFTER.....

I love how this frame turned out.
I bought it at a thrift store for $6. It's very heavy and came with the glass in it.



I brought it home and got busy.
I bought yellow spray paint!
I had not painted anything in yellow (I've mostly painted with turquoise because I LOVE turquoise.)
So, I thought yellow would be a pretty summer color.

A work in process.....

I had two chevron pattern wrapping papers that I bought at HomeGoods (LOVE that store!)
Which one to choose?
I went with the gray.

hello.
It's now a cute dry erase frame.

I bought ZEBRA duck tape.... f u N!!

Sorry for the blurry picture. I forgot to take a before pic of the frame, but this shows it. Just a dull, brown frame.  I cut pieces of zebra duck tape and taped them around the frame. Easy... and so cute!

Looks good with blue!

Looks good with tan!

Looks good in a grouping!
