Art project!

On a whim, I went to Michaels the other day to find some wedding stuff. While I did find a whole lot of wedding stuff (and believe me, a WHOLE LOT...we're going back there to stock up on some essentials needed for the wedding) I also found some other things that interested me. Actually, if I was allowed, I could spend plenty of money in that store, but that's not the point here.



I (actually we...meaning R and I) have always wanted to get some canvases and just paint the day away. In our 'dream' we would have had wonderful pictures to paint and they would be SO good that we could hang them up in our apartment as nice decor.



Well when it came down to it, we had no idea what to draw. Not to mention, I bought water colors instead of oil paint (to go along with the canvases that I got). So we had some good 'ole fashion painting fun! With drawing paper and water colors.



And I still decided to hang a few up...for now at least.

Pop some popcorn and relax. There are quite a few pics!

Our array of brushes.

My Mister is such a sweetheart, he always goes along with my blog pictures. Blessed heart :-)

I know, they are great aren't they?! They should totally be in some art gallery somewhere, right?!

This is my polka dot collection. Some day we'll be rich and famous from this collection, making millions on my polka dot paintings.

I really can draw and paint most of the time. I just need direction in doing so. I need someone to tell me what to draw and, if I can toot my own horn, I can do it pretty well. Hope you enjoyed!

No Minute...

Wow, I have had a very boring day so far...I have been reading blogs basically this whole time I've been at work. You know, with a little phone call here and there. I am updating myself on THIS blog, which I find to be very inspiring, if you will. I keep coming across these crafty, decoration idea blogs and I just want to redo our whole apartment. I hate it, but I love it. I hate it because I want to redo everything and get a certain style going through our place and we just can't afford that right now. I love it because it is making me want to set up shop, make our house a home...

Anywho...back to that blog I was talking about, it's called Daisy Chain and the writer is just so, oh I don't even know the word to decribe her other than cool! I got the above picture from her blog but if you want to purchase or just browse others you can click here. They are pretty neat, but a little pricey. Maybe I can make something of my own. We really need things to put on our walls. It is seriously, like an insane assylum in our white walled apartment. If you lay on the bed/couch and just look up, you literally feel like you are in an assylum!!! :-)

We actually were talking (it was the Mister's suggestion) about getting some canvases and just having a paint day one day. I, pesonally, think that would be fun!
