Some changes in a painting with Liquitex Pouring Liquid

are you still standing, of course not, you are sitting....can you believe the changes in this piece?
For those of you that know me, it is not unusual for me to switch up a painting....some of you even hate the fact that I do this....I call it artistic license. I sometimes get a little worried by maybe having a little sweat on my forehead but ultimately it is my gut that drives me to do what I do when I change. I know some of the pieces are what you are consider as "so amazing" or "oh so nice" but in the end it is me that needs to feel so sort of satisfaction with the piece and since I am the one in charge I can't help myself when I do some big changes. I hope that they are all part of the process of being liked but I am not worried because in the end I won't sell or put up a piece that I personally don't like.
So here is the piece and where I was going with it

Today I decided to experiment with some of my pouring medium and after the piece has cured for 24hrs I will post the end results. I love this medium because it has a life of it's own....the paint manages to spread while it is curing and go off the edge of the painting....or maybe my house if off balance. Till then....

after 8hrs of curing....still needs more time. Not sure what direction it's taking but I kinda like it.

After a day

More changes to happen. I want to lighten up the outer edges because I find it too dark and then add some glass beads in the areas where there are gaps....photos to follow

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
