I have had this ugly tool box forever....I loved that it was long and slender....that is why I kept it for so long...I wanted it to be special.....   This is the before, (of course) and it is working up beautifully using a stencil I purchased from Russia, modeling paste in Gold, silver and copper along with other stencils that I sell in my Etsy shop.  I have even incorporated some gold and copper colored crystals into the design and some black glitter which I purchased on a whim and love.

The red flower glass piece was posted on Facebook.  I have no idea who the artist was it just stated it was glass art.  I work on glass but I wanted to see what would happen if I used the glass paints on canvas and if I painted a backdrop first.   I have chosen the colors I want to use and have painted the canvas with Blue, yellow and green acrylic paints.  I am using a large gallery wrapped canvas and when it is finished I would like it to hang behind the couch in my living room.  I need some bright color on that wall.   Now I have to determine what will come next.  Do I outline the petals with the black and fill in the red and green, OR do I paint petals and then outline.  Or do I do a little of each? I think my next step just might be to get some random circles drawn on with a charcoal.  I am not confident enough to just "wing it"...  What I see in the inspiration piece that is above the framework I also have to think about.....which ...

Mixed Media.       "Watchful Eye" I saw a video of a woman who was doing a similar piece and loved it.  I had been wanting to do a dragons eye for quite awhile...and her video was an inspiration.

                 I HAVE SOME NEW PRODUCTS COMING TO MY ETSY SHOP One will be a stencil tool kit which will include 3 different sizes of the Dynasty Pro stencil brushes which are AWESOME.   (Which by the way is the BEST cleaning solution for cleaning the stencils and can be purchased at Dollar Tree) and the softest surgical brush you will ever see for cleaning your stencils with little or no effort providing you clean them IMMEDIATELY after use. I have also ordered a Mini electric iron which is PERFECT for adhering on the mylar foils the I sell in my Etsy shop.  The irons are SO hard to find and work great for exactness of foiling vs a heat gun.  New foil packages are being this weekend in my Etsy Shop. Last, but not least.  Some new color sprays.  Most were "sold out" but I was still able to get some awesome colors and will add more colors as they become available.   I have not  used them yet but if they are...

STEP #1 Acrylic Paints:        Red, Orange and Yellow  /  Warm colors There are 7 layers to get to the FINAL.....This is my first step.  Just random dabs of 3 colors. When I am finished I will post the final painting.  This is a technique by Susan Farrell and I am taking her Serendipity online class.   I have watched all of the videos and then went back to Step #1  and am working  my way through to??????????   Either a beauty or a fail.  Each persons' painting will be different based on colors, stencils used and placement.  The idea is to NOT copy but to produce your own intuitive pieces.   A far cry from patterned traced patterns with instructions as to what colors to use, brushes etc.  These new designs are totally one of a kind intuitively painted by intuitive painters. Wish me luck. I am working on the last couple of steps.  Would you ever have any idea that were I am ending up began where I started...

4-20-2020 Hi, My name is Charlie Brown and I have lived with my new Mom and Dad for a little over a month and have been in what they keep saying is Quarantine  They don't have any idea what a real quarantine is. Mom says I am stubborn, have a mind of my own,a tendency to do exactly what I am told NOT to do, and  lifting your leg wherever you find a corner is NOT appropriate.  I have never really had anyone I had to "mind:.  Things are definitely different here.... Mom gives me baths and tries to make me look better but I really think that I need a groomer.  I have no idea when I was pampered last....  I hold REAL still for Mom when she cuts because I KNOW she doesn't have any idea what she is doing....I am not going to move a muscle while she has this sharp  things in hand and another that buzzes.  .I still remember when she snipped my ear the first time. I sure am glad that I live here....but I am just a dog from an abused home and I don't know a...

This is a new piece I have just started. Photo #1.  Slip slap background with paints on a canvas board.  (I used all of the Color Shift Paints with the exclusion of black) Next I glued onto the painted canvas one of the specialty papers I sell in my Etsy store.  This one is so sheer and one of my favorites.   **As you tilt this canvas the colors change slightly from purple to blue, green to gold, etc.  I love       the effect.  I also like the strings that are randomly apparent in the paper.** My small travel hair dryer was "just the ticket" for drying and shrinking the paper slightly to remove the trapped air bubbles that didn't disperse with my roller. Next  (I think)  is Stencil #1.   I have chosen 3 different floral stencils but know that can quickly change.  My thoughts are back to "color"....
