This is the second time that I have found a pig cutting board to use as a canvas for my painting. This one is slightly larger than the previous one and also has a cute curly tail. It cost 1.49 at the Goodwill, one of their weekly specials. Every Tuesday they feature a different color of tag and anything with that color is 1.49. I love Tuesdays! Instead of another block design, I decided to paint pansies only in colors that they don't naturally grow. I have mentioned my preference for things in black and white, but, red is a color that is next on my list of favorites. The flowers really jump out at you in this project. My next step is where to put her. Ah, decisions. Happy Creating!
Who doesn't have empty CD cases laying around. You lost or damaged the CD, but don't want to throw out the case. Here is a cool idea. I took 16 empty cases and duct taped them together. I cut out yellow paper to fit in the cover of 12 of them and drew pictures for the other four. Instant art with a unique frame. I did my own drawings, but you could use photos or put in your kids artwork, anything that you can think of. I used duct tape to add a hanger in the back for ease in putting it on the wall. You could also do a smaller version by using only three or four cases and putting them in a straight row to hang vertically or horizontally. In the future, I might put something to brace the Cd's a bit more, but in general the results are good. The possibilities are endless with a bit of imagination.
