Due to a problem with our Internet provider we were without service for yesterday and part of today. What a way to start my last month. Now that everything is running there will be two posts today.
This is the post scheduled for yesterday.
I got this candle holder at my work marked down to .80. My guess is that no one wanted to buy it because the paint was smeared. Lucky for me! This was a simple fix, new paint in a more neutral color and that was that.
This wooden heart was from the Goodwill and cost 1.99. As you can see on the before it came with 'checkers' attached to it and it had seen better days. I removed them and set them aside for a future project. I coated the heart in a light shade of green and added the purple swirl design. It looked good like that but with the addition of the word 'hope' it was much improved. This is a donation to a friends benefit for ovarian cancer. It seemed appropriate.
The swirl design was actually something that I saw in my head right before drifting off to sleep. Many of the patterns that are in my work originate this way. That is way there is a notebook near my bed, to jot down these ideas.
