As I have mentioned recently, there is a large project that is in the works. It is for a Parrot head charity auction in March. This is the small portion, a foot rest that goes with an Adirondack chair. After some trial and error, it finally came together last night. I was up later than anticipated, but it turned out well. There is a challenge in painting things like this because of the slats. If you do a design that is too small or too complex, the details are usually lost, so bigger is better. The flowers were a last minute addition because it looked a bit monotone with just brown and green. Being tropical, color is the order of the day. Hopefully the chair will be finished in the next day or so, but I am stuck right now with the design. If I sleep on it, something will come to me. Fins up! It's Tiki time!
The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
