Molotow paint markers up for a challenge against Liquitex paint markers

My son Joey bought me some of the Molotow paint markers 127HS 2mmn fine tip, from Cugino Boutique in Dorval for doing his ironing....wonderful little deal if I don't say so myself.

Anyhow I testing them out on the weekend working on a 6x12 canvas that was primed with Gesso. They are very fluid and don't need to be pumped as much as the Liquitex. The paint comes out quite quickly and doesn't leave edges when doing a large area. I will be testing the finish to see how it holds up with a final coat of varnish. I didn't really like the matt finish on the black but all in all I found them to hold up better than the Liquitex.

I will ask Joey to buy me some of their fat markers next to test.

Since I didn't really like the black because it was too mat I used my Liquitex black markers and now it looks good. One negative is the Molotow paint markers seem to bleed when varnish was applied. So in my next test I will let the paint cure for 24hrs.

And since I was having fun doing cow's I did another one.

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
