In the past week, I was seriously bitten by an art bug, and instead of knitting as my source of relaxation and artistic outlet (though I still love knitting!) I have begun painting anything I can get my hands on! It started with Eddie painting the beat-up old drum a few weeks ago that we found at a thrift store, which turned out gorgeous. I will post those photos in a separate post. I was then inspired to paint the entire entry way in our home, a junky old white mirror, a blank slate (literally!)....and it seems like something else I might have forgotten...Oh yeah! Not painted something that I painted, but I made a coverlet with Celtic knots all over it and matching curtains for our bedroom. (Which I will post photos of when our room is a little cleaner!) All of this I began since last Tuesday. *g*
Not to mention my awesome new belly dance outfit I just ordered which arrived a few days ago! I needed a different costume, without making one...so this is really belly dance on a budget.
Soooo....enough banter, here are the photos! (And all of this with very limited funds and very little previous art experience, too, lol)
Entry way...(I will take better photos in the daylight, and when the room is cleaner, hehe)
The slate with our anniversary and the view from where we were married; (my first project)
The mirror's new look, though still needs to be cleaned and hung up...
Mirror border (I designed the knot)
Top of the mirror border
The new outfit...and very messy hair...
