I woke up from a true nightmare this morning! My phone had been stolen by some teen who asked to use mine to call his mom. OF COURSE I let him! Well off he ran! At a Reds Game no less!! The whole dream all I could think or say was “I didn’t download my pictures for the blog! And the cloud is off!” I just knew all my readers were going to be heart broken.
Well, the truth is, you are going to be heartbroken anyway because I haven’t completed a project yet. I have 6 started, but no finishers. So I’m just gonna show you a couple in the works and let you wonder.
HA! Nope! Didn’t score this beauty. Went to an auction the other day and waited for 2 hours for this long legged lady to come up and then they started on the other side of the room so she would be last. Unfortunately, that day I was to badly needed elsewhere to stick around for her. Hoping to see her finished up at some of the nearby shows I will be doing this spring. If I see her, I will be sure to snap a photo and let you guys too.
And here’s the hairpin table I spoke of last week. It isn’t completed. Needs the chalk washed off. I chalk outlined the arrowhead and “feathers”. It also needs a couple more coats in a couple places where I painted over the chalk which was not the correct manner. As evidenced by – the blue chalk outline underneath. Which looks bad. After those two steps, I’m going to rough it up a bit and call it SOLD!!
Now, I am hoping you can forgive the really poor photography skills here, it was only supposed to be a quick shot to send to a friend, but in the upper right hand corner, behind the arrow table, beside the garbage can, is an Eastlake parlor table that I have painted the top pink with the Miss Mustard Seed milk paint. It is the same table I used twine as the clamps on. When I am done, I will also add white porcelain casters. It already had the holes for them but alas, no casters. Casters are something I grab up when I find them loose at Re-Stores regularly so please do not be alarmed. I have a stash. I personally also take all casters off items if I decide to donate the item. To add to the hoard. Because a hoard isn’t a hoard if there is only one. Or three. I think it takes four to get to a hoard.
And if you just got to those last 3 sentences – I.LOVE.YOU. EVEN MORE!
Okay lovely readers. Off to the studio!
