Furniture Revamps

 

I promised to blog about my most recent revamps so ladies and gentlemen here they are! I've always wanted one of these and while yard sale-ing I ran across this old beat up thing. (not sure wht it's called ) Anyway I was so excited cuz I could actually see the potential to be something great so I loaded it up in the back of J's toyota pick-up and now I love it so much I'm not sure if i'm going to add it to my Booth at the Antique Gallery. I thought it would be nice to be used as a quilt closet. Also, I tried my hand at 'distressing" and I'm really undecided if I like the "old" look but honestly, I'm just so happy it' done and in my home.

AFTER


 

Now, on the other hand while I was waiting for paint to dry and in between all the rain we've had I conjured up this little quirky guy. So in love with him, gonna make him a woman. I'll be sharing that real soon.

The chair below is another yard sale find that I plan to revamp. The cushion is in the sewing room awaiting my personal touch. Think I'm going to really do something BRIGHT to this. I supposed I'll be finished with it within a few weeks. I know, that's a really long time but hey, I'm busy what can I say? See ya soon!

July Art Journey

I saw this illustration over at "Willowing" and I've been practicing my facial features for a long - long time. I mean a very, VERY, long time. They say practice makes perfect. Still working it out but in the meantime check out their website and join the group.Lots of cool things to do.

                                         

This is my favorite! So colorful and inspiring.  

Pink is my favorite color and those dots, well, dots rule~ 

Take a trip to Karrie Evenson's Art blog and try your hand at this big boy! "Coutour drawing then  paint with bold bright colors.



By the light of the silvery moon..............................

These fairy dolls are made of fabric then painted. Sooo much fun to do until ya get to the part where you have to "turn" those little tiny eensy weensy legs and arms arrrgggg!!!!!! Adorable when completed and worth the trouble.  



This is the end of our July Journey of Art from Studio -B. I hope you 've enjoyed the tour and will check back often. The studio is cleaned and ready for another round of paint, glitter, glue, and FUN! See ya! 

"P" Is For PROJECT!

 

Oh WOW! Long time no writing. Please forgive......I have, however been very busy. This painting is called....."From Generation To Generation". For some reason it reminds me of a wise, mature woman sharing some great adivice and if this young girlie-girl will heed to her words she will save herself a great deal of pain. 

 

 

 

 

Here is another project I've been working on. Isn't it pretty? Such a sweet little side table. I saw this sitting in someones yard.UGH! It makes me sick to see something so precious out in the rain. There is much potential that is wasted. So...I stopped and asked the owners of the yard, "Hey, you gonna leave that table out here to be ruined?" And you know what they said? "Yep, unless you want it!" I grabbed this baby up, and went to town. So proud!   

 

 

 

A client of mine,always searches out the good things and when she  finds something I might can revamp she is so awesome to bring it to me. Thanks Marion. Anyhoo, she brought these Celtic Crosses about a year ago and they sat around doing noghing until one day it hit me. COLOR! GLITTER!YAY!!! They really turned out nice. 

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed this post and once again I'm sorry I've been away so long. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to seeing you again. Leave a comment if ya don't mind cuz it makes my day to hear from you. Okay now, get creative, then share it, and then repeat!  

Pretty Paintings All In A Row

Just thought I would show-off some of my paintings all in a row. I've had so much fun creating these that I can't wait to do more. I have several in the Studio waiting for my attention however, "time" is NOT on my side.

I especially love the large paintings and if you can see them, I adore my little "Softees".

Well, It's Sunday evening and I've got to run and get ready for Church. I Love CHURCH!  Hey how about this...

These are the things I love:

                            !. Painting, Crafting, Turning Trash To Treasure,Mentoring Music and Vocals, Preaching, Teaching, Singing, Playing my Awesome Keyboard, and Leading Women to they're greatest potential in serving the Lord Jesus Christ.

Well, that about sums me up for today. I'm glad  to know so many of you are dropping in. Come anytime. Be blessed and I'll see you in a bit!

 

 

Another Dumpster Dive

 

A good friend of mine called and said...Found you a new project! ( as if I didn't have enough going) When I saw this piece of work I almost turned round and ran! It gave me the creeps to touch it! I used a carpet knife to cut the old fabric away and underneath looked pretty good. Couldn't help myself, had to do it. Isn't it gorgeous? It's amazing what a little elbow grease can do.

Stepped out on the porch today and Hubby said.... hey, I got something for you. I looked in the back of his truck and guess what? That's right. Another dumpster dive. I'll share it with you when I get it done. Take a look at the before and after of this one.

 

 

Outdoor Market

 

OUTDOOR MARKET - ALYSIS ANTIQUE DEPOT

Had a great time at the Outdoor Market yesterday. This was the first time I'd done this one before. It was like the Interstate Fair. People were everywhere. Needless to say I did great in sales, and was so encouraged to keep on keeping on! Made tons of great connections and was able to spend quality time with my friend and partner in,well, almost every fun thing, Amanda. She had the booth next to mine. Still needing to move some merchandise cuz there's more creativity whipping up inside of me just screaming to get out!

I hope all of you crafty peeps are enjoying this beautiful Spring weather (or at least in Florida it's Spring)

Gonna get back to the Studio soon and I'll keep you updated on what's going on ! Be blessed and remember, God has a plan and purpose for your life.
