Advent Calendar

This is what I've been working on an advent calender
 for our grandson.   I created different tags for each
package and then downloaded the numbers HERE
to make it more cohesive.

There are a million and one ways to make an advent
calendar from complicated to easy!  Check out my

Wooden Houses-Little Boxes

 

We were inspired by 

Cloth Paper Scissors 

Nov/Dec 2013 cover issue

 to paint some wooden

houses in my local

 art group Art Menagerie.

 

 It was such fun!

The song by Malvina Reynolds

Little Boxes kept playing in my

head as I painted them...yeah I 

weird like that LOL

Thankfully ours didn't all look the same :-)

Painted Tom Shoes

 

I recently stepped outside my comfort 

zone and painted a pair of Tom shoes. 

I was so nervous because the person who 

asked me to paint them didn't have a clear 

design idea so I was worried it wasn't

 what they might have imagined! Even 

worse what if I messed up painting them 

how could I correct it?!?

 

I sketched it out first and then began to paint it

With the shoes not being a smooth surface also

 made me nervous, but I used a combination

of Fabric markers and fabric paints to

paint the shoes.

I'm relieved and happy to say that the person was 

very happy with he outcome...whew!
