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?

... things i've been doing

Vaca to Hull, MA.... LOVED it! Want to move there. I've never been to the ocean and now I'm hooked!

The rocks there were so beautiful... God's artwork.

I'm also addicted to SEA GLASS.... these are some of the beautiful things I found on the beach.

Painting {and distressing} frames...

Are you seeing a color scheme here?

Finding thrifty finds.... like old jars at Goodwill for $4.

My latest Thrifty Finds!

Lotsa good thrifty stuff!

Some of it is already painted. If I have time I'll try to post some before and after pics this week. I'm having so much fun painting this stuff. Vintage... old and worn out... sometimes ugly stuff... all prettied up with a little paint :)
