I don’t think I ever showed you all the project I made in my class with the fabulous Cathe Holden at The Creative Connection this past September. Cathe had everything all kitted up for us so we just followed along and did what she told us. I was sitting next to Deb Berger of Scrapbooks, Etc. so we had a nice chat while we assembled our projects. Tauni had a small small glitter malfunction, but aside from that we behaved and all finished our projects. Here are more photos of the class on Cathe’s post.
The project background was what looks like an old paint by number winter scene. Does anyone else remember these? Ah, the smell of the paints! It seems like they were oils- could this be? How did my mother ever let me do that?
We inserted the copy of the painting into the back of a canvas, turned it over and covered the wood frame with some old Christmas photos that fit perfectly in antique slide mounts We added a personalized banner, glass glitter, some snow and a bottle brush tree.
Great project – I certainly remember paint by numbers! I think they are still about here in the UK
How wonderful! Oh boy do I remember the days of ole when I did those oil paintings! If only we had saved those little masterpieces but we moved so much in the military that clutter wasn’t an option. 🙁
Beautiful work Eileen!
WOWEE this is brilliant…clever use of ‘stuff’ Eileen!!! I am inspired!
