Here is my latest little project. I got this vase on Tuesday at the Goodwill, it was .99 and I was unable to pass it up. I liked the color and it wasn't worn off so all that was really necessary was to give it a bit more personality. With just black paint I added on various sized blobs of paint and then a few lines up by the opening. The vase is only about six inches tall and I really don't know what to do with it. Since it is wood and the inside is not finished real flowers is not an option. I've been thinking about making some kind of bead or button flowers. I never know until the light bulb goes on, keep checking back and you will find out.
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...
