If you follow this blog, then you know I have been painting for over a year now, and I have really progressed so much.  If you look at the bear below, which is painted on a recycled glass jar, and will be used for a Valentine's Day party for our homeschool group, then try to remember the one I painted last year.  It is a huge difference.  I should have taken a picture of them side by side to show the difference.  I also have been practicing painting vines, flowers and leaves.  I love these things and would love to paint them beautifully.  They are a challenge for me though.  I watched the video below several times, before I attempted her method of using the one stroke method with a round brush, rather than a flat edge brush.  It was so much easier and the petals come out so nice.  The framed daisies, will be available for purchase in my Etsy store soon.  I am not sure if I am going to sell the vase.  I really, really like it, and it looks lovely on my table.  I found the red vase at a thrift store, and then of course I painted on the daisies.  What have you painted, or crafted lately?  Are you just starting to paint, or been doing it for a while?
