Paintings in progress

I am working on 2 different paintings, 1 acrylic and the other encaustic.
The acrylic one has collaged pictures and tissue paper for texture and then built up with some acrylic mediums. I am calling it "the field of dreams". I am not sure where I am going with the butterfly and don't really like the puff paint around it but will play around with it a bit more. I also included some micro beads and some sparkle paint which I may tone down a bit before the final varnish, although it will still show through after the final coat.
The encaustic one name "fire and water" which my son started with me last year is still in progress too. I also added some micro beads but will probably have to add another coat of was for it to become completely in beaded in the wax so that I can get the glossy finish when the wax is buffed.

Here is the begining of this painting.

And this is where I am today

Here is the begining of this painting. I added the tissue paper and the butterfly which my little neighbor made for me and then added some paint and did some outlining.

Since then I have added some puff paint and more acrylic paint and microbeads

Sewing machine drawers

I found these sewing machine drawers at the curb last summer and have been debating what to do with them. I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f

End of a collection #Breweriana

For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out. update this batch which had lots
