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!
Black and white is a favorite combination of mine. This is a great fabric that I found a while ago at Hancock Fabrics. It has a girl power decade motif from the 50's to the 2000's. From the moment I saw it, it was meant to be! For a few months now, it has resided in my fabric bin until today when this idea came to mind. The smaller of the two had almonds in it originally and the taller was just an empty canister bought at the Goodwill. For the smaller one, I covered it in a circle design fabric and then added the decade black and white motif as a pincushion topper. The tall canister was first covered in a black and white polka dot print and then I cut out the decade motifs and adhered them to that fabric. At this point in time the taller canister has no specific purpose other than general storage but the smaller one is my new safety pin holder. I did add a fun black and yellow taste to the one canister for a bit of interest.
