Forgot to take a before picture AGAIN but I found this really ugly cabinet at a thrift store. It’s been sitting in storage for about a year so I took it out and started painting it yellow…
It was a pain in the rear trying to paint all those slats on the shutters and someone had installed them inside out but I kind of liked it that way so I didn't change it. Then I kept thinking I wanted to really do something crazy with this piece because its been a while since I've experimented with layering colors. I chose a pretty teal color over the yellow , just dry brushing it on. I made it heavier in places and it started looking really cool so I kept going…
I absolutely love it and it makes me want to do some other fun pieces and just go berserk with color and technique! Sometimes I think I should paint a color that a majority of people would like and I think that holds my creativity back. This was so satisfying to see a dull and drab piece of crap come to life with just paint. This is why I do what I do.
Newly stenciled display cabinet I’m going to use to display fabric in at the booth. I used Royal Design Studio’s stencil to do the inside. Really don’t want to put anything in it, it looks so nice! Decided not to put the glass front doors in unless I end up making jewelry again and need the cabinet to lock.
I have recently been experimenting with metal working and I was playing around with my tools and came up with this pendant, I really like it and I think I will try some more colors. Also got my metal hole punch pliers today finally! I searched 10 stores looking for one and finally just ordered it but came across one today while shopping at JoAnns’s Craft Store. Guess I’ll have two now.
I made this really bright leather bracelet and put it on Etsy,
but I want to keep it!
