*Getting My Craft On*

Before: - well actually, I must have deleted the pictures I took of the before and during this project. I can't find them. Man! I was so excited to do the before/after pics. I always like to see them. But you can envision an early 1970's gold framed mirror and gold squiggly lines on the mirror. My mom came across it in an old box and I decided to try something with it. Or you get the idea from this internet photo?


After:

A little red spray paint and chalk board paint.

Then my next project has been a work in progress. I started it in March.

Before: Jax being such a good model.

During: I primed and then tried a color, decided it was too bright of a baby blue so maybe you can see the new light blue color on the top...

After:

After I spray painted it all with several coats.. I then hand painted/wiped on a black glaze to enhance all the wood detail. Normally you can apply it then simply wipe it off. But this I used a little water color paint brush to do all the intricate detail. It was time consuming. But I love it in the end!

The boys were having fun being my models. (without and with a flash)
