Still in Love with Liquitex Spray Paints and Markers

Here is the latest painting that I have been working on while trying to complete the huge commissioned painting which I landed up having a block on. So when I do get into those blocks, I doodle and just have a blast trying to shake off what ever is blocking me. So I brought a bunch of canvases outdoors one day and randomly sprayed them with some of the Liquitex paints which I love but the nozzles clog very easily so I also pick up and extra supply of extra nozzles when I got to the art supply store. Then I pulled out the one's that called to me. There was only 2 of the 5. This is the one that I decided to play with to break my block. So after the spraying and dragging some of the paint with my paint brush and pallet knife this is the one that I decided that I would start outlining some details with my Liquitex markers. I hung it in the hallway (my personal little gallery) and just looked at it over and over.....and this is where I went with it. I am not happy with the white Titanium paint that I used as it left stroke marks and I found it to be a bit globby, if that is even a word.

This will go up for sale in my etsy store soon.

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
