Time to play catch-up with projects! Kind of better late than never!

I am welcoming myself back. It has been a long time since I even thought of posting on here.

 So there are quite a few projects to check out!

Here we go!

You will see as you scroll that I have been making a lot of recycled cds into Christmas ornaments! Most are dot painted and have 65 on them to commemorate friends' 65th birthdays. Lots of fun, acrylic paint, Cricut-cut numbers, some have bows or little silver initials attached also. Top coated to shine. For the most part the ornaments are hung with fishing line inserted into the hole I drilled out.

Canvas for a baby's room. Cut out the rabbit and decoupaged it on the canvas that I painted and lettered.

Way behind....

Wow it is September 2021 already!

 I have sadly neglected my page; the days months have gotten away from me during the pandemic. 

So I will add some pictures now of projects that have occupied my time for a bit and try to play catch-up.

Please take a look!

Canvas board, painted in gray and white buffalo check using acrylics. Painted the recipient's name. Used jute rope and small clothespins so that this held photos.

*****

Meet Zeus. On the left this is the real dog; on the right is a fun interpretation of him. He likes to wear bandanas so he I painted a red and white one for his furry neck.  Done in acrylics.

*****

Here are two sets of coasters~  used small wrapped canvases and did acrylic paint pours with extender. Varnish top coat. 

*****

I was learning to do some paint projects with on-line instruction. These giraffe are painted on canvas sheeting with acrylic paints and sprayed glimmering spray on top to make the giraffes sparkle. 

*****

These are 2 paint pour projects on canvas. For the top one I put a texture on the canvas first then poured and sprayed glimmering spray.

The bottom one is also on canvas and is just a poured project. 

*****

This is a small bench/table. I painted it with chalk paint a dark green/teal and then for the top I used gray and a light green background. The top is stencilled with navy and dots of navy and green.

Poly topcoat.

I think that is it for now. Other projects that have kept me busy (but I will not post yet) include painting and redecorating the living room and dining room, including sewing projects. The kitchen is awaiting new counters and fresh paint.
