Terraskin stencil of chandelier for a wedding gift

We are going to a wedding in Aug for a woman who loves my paintings.....so of course an easy gift would be to make her one for her wedding gift. I took the idea from her invitation and then made the stencil with the Terraskin cut it out and sprayed the background on the canvas with a Royal Blue and after 3 coats and when it dried, I layed down the chandelier template and sprayed it with a Baby Blue. It turned out wonderful and I will hand paint in their names and the date on the bottom. I used my Sabotaz paints which have amazing coverage but had to do this outdoors as it smells. It will have to cure for at least 24hours and then I will add some bling.....not sure at this point whether it will be glitter or sequins but not gold leaf this time. Updates to follow

Here is the invitation

Here is the design which is not exact because it is a little complex for the stencil cutting

This is final version after the background has been completely painted and then the stencil layed on top and spray painted Baby Blue

This is the stencil after spraying. I am hoping that I can do at least 20 to 30 with this template. The Terraskin holds up very well with paint and does not buckle.

So I did notice only after the painting through the stencil that there were a couple of areas that could use some touch up and that were off just a bit but nothing my trusty exacto knife can't handle for the stencil and a little bit of paint on the canvas.

Next to do is add names and dates and bling

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
