How is this for a before and after! I have to say I kinda impressed (no pun intended) myself. Impressionism is one of my favorite eras in art and you cannot have it without Van Gogh. I bought this wooden jam jar for 2.50 at the Goodwill and painted it, but didn't like it. So I just painted it dark blue, then I started looking at these silk sunflowers I had gotten for another project that didn't work out and suddenly an idea was born. Blue, yellow and white brushstrokes created the 'vase' part and once it was dry, I hot glued the sunflowers and leaves on that I also embellished with brushstrokes. It turned out cool and no one would ever guess what it was before.
I accomplished a years worth of creativity on a budget. Now this blog is just for all of my creative outlets. My creativity involves a lot of craft projects, artwork and a few odds and ends.
