I've been artsing around like crazy lately. This is what's currently in the art crock pot:
My customized vintage luggage set:
My mom buys these old suitcases whenever they show up at Goodwill with the hopes that someone will decorate them and use them or give them as gifts. When we were cleaning out the garage I found a "set" that almost matched (a suitcase and a makeup-type box). I painted them light blue with white piping/edging and now I'm FINALLY getting around to the big fancy flowers! I went with poppies:
Here's the mate that I haven't started with the floweries yet:
Last night Ellie and I stayed up late to make earrings. I went crazy.
I'm planning on making many more. I also drilled holes in some root beer bottlecaps and Ellie wired them for me. No photograph; I can't take true credit for making them. Just the power tools.
I also have one acrylic painting in progress. It's been halted because I hate those white flowers in the corner. I'll finish it eventually. It looks much prettier than I originally expected. The poppy on the suitcase has proven itself to be much more Fun per Unit than these flowers, though.
Not to mention...my mother's custom cupboard door! I'm so proud of this.
Gratuitous CORGITUDE!
