Creating

It was dark, rainy and chilly today...

perfect for sitting in my studio and playing with some paint!

A pot of coffee and a cat under my feet made it very cozy, too.

My vintage tilt canister I found at the auction has had another face lift.

Originally I had painted the lid to resemble a floral brown 

transferware plate.  It was beautiful until I sprayed a layer of clear

protectant over it that yellowed as it dried.  Yuck.

I also didn't like the shiny look afterall.

So it turned into something totally different today

and I like it even better. 

Sometimes I surprise even myself. ha.

I'm liking how it looks by the old bluebird crock, too.

I also had fun playing around with these chipboard pieces.

I'm thinking they would be cute tags tied onto those

gifts in a jar, you know..the ones with stacked ingredients 

in them for the recipient to mix and bake?

Or maybe on jars of preserves.

Sweet!
