Experience Painting Classes with MK

I just wanted to show off the awesome work by the ladies in the painting class Wednesday morning at Java Loft!  This is a three part project featuring different coffee drinks and then hung together with a ribbon.

This particular class was a morning class which we got to enjoy with our coffee!  Friends, art, and coffee.  Now that is what I call therapy!

Merchant Kitty offers all kinds of classes from painting, to signs, and paper crafts to sewing.  If you have a group or event I can adapt for your group.  I will be in the Clovis, NM area throughout the summer.  See more on the Merchant Kitty website.

I just want to say thank you to Java Loft in Clovis, NM for a lovely time.  They have great coffee, a beautiful facility, and wonderful service!

Owl Mixed Media

I got a chance to step out of my comfort zone this week trying to match a nursery for a baby gift.  I generally stick to a vintage look like floral and damask, but this needed some harder contrasts and a whimsical look.  So I took inspiration from a scrap book pad for style direction. The stripes and dots which became the tree came from one of these pages.  I made a quick chevron template from a stripe page.  The flowers were a design based on a polka dot backround in the paper pack. What helped it really pull together was outlining everything with a brown sharpie.Then I cut out coordinating owl shapes from the paper pack and decoupaged them on to the painting.  The eyes were flowers.  I used the Sharpie to write the verse.  Then I hot glued some gems on to the eyes and spritzed opalessence over the entire piece.  Viola!

Using Old Tools for Decoration

In an attempt to make these tools more decorative for a ladies meeting, I tried the freezer paper transfer method to apply some verses that went along with a construction theme.  Once you have tried transferring with the freezer paper method, I promise you too will want to print on anything that stands still!  These tools would be perfect for that man cave or fancy garage or workshop or displaying grandpa’s old tool box, Father’s Day or masculine birthday.
