New painting in progress- Modelling Paste experiment

Normally I start my paintings with a rough sketch and then work in the modelling paste. But this time I have decided to add the paint and see where it goes. And since I have a tendency of taking a painting in a completely different direction, I have my camera on hand to record the silliness that happens with my instincts.

Okay so it took a completely different direction. After playing with these colours.....I didn't like it too much so it was back to the drawing board with Gesso. I think this is what I wanted and I am happy with it now.
It figures my memory card reader crapped out on my. I'll load the pic as soon as I get an new one

So this is where I went with it. I still have some work and details to work on.....hopefully I can stay with the same colours....we'll see

This is where I started:

of course I had to tint it....and then of course I went over to the other side by adding too much dark colours. This is one of the things I have a problem with...I need to put caution on all my dark and iridescent paints. Live and learn is not working for me.

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
