Last night I finished a project I have for sale and thought I would share.
My Mother found this at a garage sale for me and it looked like this..
This piece is much newer than the pieces I usually paint but I like how it turned out.
I did a lot of distressing on this one too--I think the distressing brought it to life. I hope there is someone out there who will love this piece :)
Update: I put it on the local Facebook classifieds and it sold within minutes--with a line of people wanting it next if the first person didn't get it. So I guess I found several people that love it :)

Last night Janae and I took such a fun class! It was a Layered Patina advanced painting class. It was taught by my blogging friend Amanda from Girl in Pink. This is the second class Janae and I have taken from her and we enjoy them so much!
It was a great evening and really inspired my creativity. We made canvas' using layers of different protects...my favorite protect was fine stone. It was pretty awesome :)
I just love how old this looks!
We used learned how to use transfer gel and made a adorable little blessings board.
Can't wait to do some projects with these new techniques!
Have a great day and thanks for visiting!
Hello Sandy,

I sure wish that I lived near you, I'd surely be taking those classes with you...Amanda is amazing!
Love your project board it is beautiful...I'm sure you will be displaying it proudly!

ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteI think the little chest was aged to perfection! I'm not surprised it sold so quickly.
