Painting

I think I love to paint.

Actually I do love to paint, just not my walls in my house. I woke up in the middle of the night with an idea for my old wood frames that have been sitting around.

I found these awesome frames at a great thrift store by my house.

Ive been hanging on to them waiting for some inspiration.

Well that was last night. I never did like painting a picture from my own imagination. I thought I was never good at it. But......I actually like what I come up with so I had some wood laying around and fit a piece for this frame. I wanted a saying with some flowers and garland and wanted to paint the frame.

 So I painted the piece of wood black and let it dry then worked on another project while I waited and its name is "Frankie" but that is for another post.

 I painted different flowers and kept on adding until I was happy with it

 added gold vinyl letters

Then mod podge it all together

 I painted the frame with a very light pink chalk paint and let it dry

then did a coat of clear sealing wax

after that dried I rubbed on dark antique wax and didn't get a pic

but I LOVE how it turned out.

All done!!!

I was thinking I should of done this for my kids when they were little. I would've hung it in there rooms.
