Works in progress

this is a chalk board, in the middle. It originally was my high school drafting board, and now it is repurpsed to a message board.
Habitat for Hunity's store "Repurose" I think that is the name, yielded some more cabinet doors begging for artowork. Good quality wood wanting to be painted on !

Re-purposefull designs

I always cruise the mark down shelves at Lowes and see what i can score - for the lake house or stuff I can use to make something. I found a set of wooden finals for a curtain rod for $5. After some decorating with paint, I am going to put some felt feet on them and perhaps cut the screws down, but voila! candle sticks....



This is a white tile with faint flowers in the glaze. I browsed some designs from some 'Arts & Crafts/ Mission style' clip art I bought and modified it, drew it and painted it. It still is a work in progress as it needs the black outlines on it. But you get the idea. Perhaps these might sell at the LKG flea market.

New creations and projects

The bowl is part of a wooden salad bowl set that my mom put in the dishwasher and had the finish stripped off...so i took them and recycling into different projects...the tray is something i put together from bits and pieces on sale at Michaels...i drew the coffee cup. Didn't come out exactllllyyyyy the way i wanted, but hell, each piece is a learning experiance.



More recycling..the tile and shell both had different designs on them that sux bad...so nothing a little black paint couln't fix and erase....then a little gold marker..and voila. something that sux less! :-)
