Thrift Store Makeovers
Here are a couple of simple thrift store makeovers. I found these ceramic birds last week at a Goodwill and fell in love with them. They were pretty as is, but had this weird goldish kind of spray over them, so I decided to spray them a glossy white… …and here they are 2 coats […]
Chandelier Makeover with Spray Paint, a Glue Gun & Scrap Fabric

How to Paint When You Can’t Draw
I have my 100 Follower Giveaway post all ready to go! Only 7 more followers. Let’s hope we hit it today! I feel pretty strongly that if a client wants me to paint a logo or cartoon character, it needs to look exactly like that logo or character. I’ve seen so many murals when Mickey […]
