The Little Mermaid

Hi....
I would like you to meet "Ariel- The Little Mermaid".
Here is a 16x20 canvas painting of her, made for a very sweet little 
friend of mine.
Her name is Sammie and she is crazy about Ariel.
This was our birthday gift to our Super Sammie.
Please read about her here:

I just love Sammie's spirit and what better gift to a mermaid lover than a 
free spirited Ariel and her buddy Flounder !!!
And here are the pictures.....

DIY Jam Jar Pen Holder

Hi there!!!

I made this Jam Jar Pen holder that I wanted to share with you.......

As you know, recycling projects are one of my favorites!!!!

And, this was no exception.....

Its a really simple project but it looks really nice......

Pen holder

I used a square glass jam jar for this pen holder......

I first painted it all black, as you can see here.....

Then I made some random Pearl white Polka dots on the bottle all over....

A nice white ribbon around the neck completed the project......

Recycle craft

See, it was that simple.......

But, I really like the way it turned out.......

Looks really Shabby Chic.....

Hope you liked it too....

So now, hunt out your own glass jars and start painting!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Art on a Bottle- 2

Hello again :)
This is another Art on a bottle I did this week......
You might remember the earlier DIY Art on a bottle post with the tutorial, that I 
uploaded a few months back......
The process is similar but the design....way different!!!
Here's the bottle for you to see.....

So, getting back to the basics.....

This was a beer bottle, that I painted gold......

Then, I did some One- stroke painting on it.....

You can see some in my earlier post One Stroke Painting on Totes....

I also embellished the design a bit, with 3D Outliners (puffy paint)......

Here are some photos for you, to show the details.....

This not just recycling....
For me, its a process where something beautiful is born out of junk.....
Sorta like the Ugly Duckling ;)
Hope you enjoyed it....
