Arts and Crafts Day

“Some people cannot see a good thing when it is right here, right now. Others can sense a good thing coming when it is days, months, or miles away.”
~Maya Angelou


Everyday is good; especially days like this…




A Saturday Art Course with my Mother-in-law

Starting out with plain canvas -adding little extra designs with stencils and putty




Covering with a few different colours rubbed on to combine




Darkening the corners to give it the antiqued look


Tracing the flower pattern and outlining with silver


Adding some shadows that will give the flowers some depth




Filling in the petals with 'Stained Glass"


Adding the little tiny beads to the centre of the flower [my Favourite part!] and the green "Stained Glass to the stems



All done! My Mother-in-law in the background working hard on her painting


Taaada!!!


How proud are we!? 

It was just one of those feel good days!
