Those of you who read this blog regularly know that I am learning to paint. I have been sharing some of my progress on this blog. Tomorrow my kids have a Valentines Day homeschool party, and I painted this cute glass vase and then made a candy bouquet.
This really was not that hard. I painted the cute bear with petals falling all around her. Each side has something different on it, roses, vines with leaves and the word love with puffy hearts.
To make the bouquet I just added flower foam to the glass vase, hot glued a variety of Valentines candy to popsicle sticks and stuck them in the foam at different angles and levels. Very easy, and very cute. I am thinking I might even do one for St Patricks Day. I am hoping to get good enough to paint on jewelry. Since I am still most comfortable with the medium to large flat brush, jewelry is still out of the question, lol! So what do you think? Have you ever made a candy bouquet?
Those of you who read this blog know that I want to paint on jewelry. This is attempt number one at painting on glass cabochons. I will let them set for a few days, then seal them, and list for a few dollars to see if there is interest. I have a lot of improvements to make before I am ready to list them at retail prices. You can see the Sand Dollar I painted on as well. Not yet sure what I will do with it, but have considered adding a wire wrapped bail and making it a large and in charge pendant. What do you think?
