Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

I came across Pinterest through some other bloggers and have now been obsessing by putting all ideas that I come across in there. It is a wonderful way to categorize all recipes, projects, books, diy and just about anything else that is on the internet that you want as a reference. Here are my pins and boards:  http://pinterest.com/tresorcache101/pins/

I pretty much fantasize about beautiful things all day long, and then I think oh wow, wouldn't a lavender and dark green something be the best . . . off to paint! 2.  Fashion. The prints! The proportions! The drama! I am recently drawn to spare, modern clothes in the perfect shade of black, blue or grey, and it is making me want to do paintings with less color, and softer compositions and lots of nice clean space. 3.  Travel. I love to see what other people are wearing, how stores in different cities do window displays, the light and the sky and the ocean in places that are not land-locked Atlanta . . . even the trees, the colors of leaves. I am going to California soon, and I am super excited to look at some ...

Step 1: Brush the Elmer's glue onto the cardstock in a nice smooth layer. Make sure you cover the area where you will be printing. Let it dry. Step 2: With an inkjet printer, print an image onto the glue side of the cardstock. Step 3: Brush a smooth, thin layer of Mod Podge onto the wood. Step 4: Stick your image face down onto the wet  Mod Podge . Press and smooth to make sure the image has good contact with the wood. Let it dry OVERNIGHT. Don't peek too soon! Step 5: Soak it. You can dunk it in water, run it under a faucet, or squirt it with a spray bottle. Let the cardstock get really wet and soft. Gently peel off the cardstock. I held this under running water while I peeled it. You can gently rub the image with your fing...

One thing I really like to paint is cows.....they are just too cute. That is unless they are chasing you across a field like the time I was at my sister in law's farm and for those of you who know the story, it's one for a Barbara roast. I came across this cow pic on Clothpaperscissors which looks like collage which I have put on the to do list when I get out my collage.

I just came across this little fact about paintings that sell. I guess I will move away from painting cows now.
