candlestick diy.

These candlesticks are a perfect example of how painting something can make such a transformation!  Remember that teal table?  I used some of the leftover paint that I had from that, and when the paint was dry I rubbed specific areas with sandpaper.




sweet summer.

I look through my instagrams from the past month and way too many of them look like this.  My June challenge... take pictures of things that aren't so sweet.

change.

I had a great year teaching elementary art- but am off to teach high school again next year and am pretty excited for what lies ahead. Here's a few images I took while wrapping up this year!
These cloud creations were done by my special ed students with the bottle caps we had left over from the mural!

teal table

When I first laid eyes on this table, I knew it had potential.  With the ornate detail, I knew that with the right paint color this table could truly have a transformation.  My grandmother actually gave me this table, and YES.. she knew I had the intention of painting it!
What it was BEFORE....
I mixed up my own teal/turquoise color and painted the inset of the table navy.   
And then sanded it in strategic areas once it was dry to give a slightly distressed look...
