Notes From Straw Mountain Studio. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. I need more furniture to paint! Yes, I have run out of small pieces of furniture to paint. But, I have still been busy. I have painted two old wooden trays with metal handles. I do wish I had taken some "before" photographs! I have to say these are much easier to wield around on my work table than a bench or a chair! Presenting the "accessories" part of my painted offerings :. Serving tray - 12" X 18" - wood with metal handles. This new obsession...

Notes From Straw Mountain Studio. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Upcycled wood cigar boxes . Well, these were a lot of fun! I had 3 cigar boxes that were wood and brown and uninspiring! Time to repurpose them into something lovely, right? Finally I glued black felt to the bottom inside of each box. They are signed and dated on the outside bottom. Today they are finished!

Notes From Straw Mountain Studio. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The " Paris Box of Secrets" . I am continuing to experiment with upcycling wood furniture and accessories. I found this sweet wooden box at my favorite upcycle shop and was sure I could make something fabulous out of it. Originally it was a pale green with a strawberry decal on the lid. Not so any more! Paris Box of Secrets". 9 X 9 and 7 inches tall. The images are attached with wall paper paste and the entire box is painted a silver acrylic.

Notes From Straw Mountain Studio. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. The weekend in my sketchbook . This past weekend was for sketching, and my sketchbook was with me constantly. Here you will see the three renderings that kept me entertained. In my defence, my daughter gave me a robotic floor cleaner for Mother's Day ( good daughter) , so I sketched while I "cleaned the floors". It was really hard work! Museum Bug in a Dress". 6" X 9" watercolor and calligraphy pen. 6" X 9" watercolor with ink journaling.

Notes From Straw Mountain Studio. Thursday, April 30, 2015. The Purple " Elephant" Chair . I found this rush seat chair at a local upcycle shop. It is a nice size and very sturdy construction and the seat was in perfect condition! I began by spray painting it all over with a gloss purple, and loved it already. Then I just started adding colors and shapes until it was all covered. The last step was to paint it all over with a gold metallic. I encourage you to find an old chair and have some fun with it!
