Noticed a change on this blog? I finally made my sign/logo the way I wanted to all along.  I was never happy with the old one that I painted, but I made it do.  Thanks to a leftover 12x24 inch canvas, some craft supplies I don't use, and my friend Diana's Cricut, I now have a logo I can proud of.

I was given some craft foam a year or two ago but really didn't know what to do with it.  Quite honestly, I still don't know what it's supposed to be used for, but I did find out that it could be painted.  I cut out some flowers, painted them and glued some leftover sparkly gems in their middles so they didn't look so flat. I also cut out a horn and painted it and added leaves for accents.  BTW-- all the gluing was done with E-6000 glue (for permanent hold) with a dab of hot glue (for immediate hold).  I bought a few terracotta pots when I was off restriction during the holidays.  Along with the craft foam, this was my first time using chalk paint.  I used it as the base coat for the pot and painted the face over it in acrylic paint.  After a few coats of varnish (inside and out), it seems to be holding up well.  I'm not sure if this post can handle being outside, but for should be fine for an indoor plant.  I need to use the chalk paint on some other items before I can give a final verdict on it.

 

The only supplies I had to buy was for my "make it" party with Miss Emily.  This was her first time making a decorative mesh wreath.  She did an awesome job.  BTW--little "Chickie" in the middle of her wreath is one of my mini paintings.  It will be featured in this year's Easter card collection.  Stay tuned to see it in March.
