Fun with Old paint

Last week when, as a creative break from cleaning out the garage, I'd go out side in the patio to play with some old paint. I had found it shoved away in the garage from over 6 years ago! It was not really that good anymore and smelled funny. We put them outside and would stir them daily to help "set" them up before we could dispose of them. Then one day (last week) I got this crazy idea to have some fun....

I laid down a black trash bag and went to town with the orange, smearing it with my hand. I let this dry first before I drizzled each color.

And now I have a disposable masterpiece!

Today I hope to use what's left of the blues and make something else!

Sunday Post Card Art #2

This is the Post Card I made for a this blog a couple of weeks ago. I have been insane busy since with finishing room paintings and prepping all week for today's garage sale which over. Yea! I made good money and got rid of a lot of stash.

The theme of this post card was mushroom, so I sewed a dimensional piece and included another spider web of course. :) You can see the "House" post card I made here.

I missed making last weeks theme, "Odd Bods" and will start on it tonight (for myself & to share with you) And this weeks theme is "On the dark side"- right up my alley!

The nice thing about these weekly challenges is it's something I can do on downtime,
(feet up after a long day watching a TV show) and I sew them because after a year of making them, I think they would make for a fun quilt!
If you have started making them too...please link back here so I can visit you!

Me & Me,

Sometimes it's fun to go on a letter photo safari. You can find the alphabet most anywhere!

Try it next time you are out and about and maybe slightly bored, but at least you have your camera! When I do this, I usually keep a note pad and pen on hand and so I can keep track of the letters I've found and concentrate on the ones I have not.
