Tornado Painting Done

I have finally finished the Tornado painting.
The coolest part about the painting is that it fits right about my toilet in the master bathroom.

How cool is that - every time you flush - you see the tornado represented two places!

Bar / Lounge Curtians

It all started when I told my Mom that I needed some crazy velvet curtains for my new formal living room. I told her that I have this awesome bar for the room and a leather wing back recliner and a huge antique cowhide couch. (So it's pretty much got a smoking/ Bar / Lounge feel to it and I needed some big heavy velvet curtains like you would see in a movie set.)
SHAZAM!
Mom dives into her material closet and pulls out 8 yards of black crushed velvet in black. So now I have big black cool curtains for the window.

Monkeying around

Monkey painting for the boys bathroom.
It's kinda fitting because of the antics, funny sounds and number of bananas that are consumed in our house.

CROSS box

What do you do with a pile of old cancelled stamps, a cigar box, paint and a broken rosary?
I take the stamps and glue em to the back of the box add some paint and glitter and then hang part of the rosary on the edge of the box and tah dah! A Cross Box.

2009 - Blog refocused on Projects

I've decided to refocus my blog on ART Projects.

In keeping with that, I have worked on a project that my Mom helped me start.
It will end up being 7 pots with 7 different letters spelling out welcome on the front porch.

I took the terra cotta pots and painted them today - and now I need to add the letters.
