Paints, brushes and CHAIRS!

-
Love these souvenir pieces!   
I might see another collection starting...

  
I found this little girl at a yard sale
and 
have been waiting for the perfect place for her! 
The teapot was a shop find today. 
You just never know what you might find in your own shop! 
 
Brushes moved, 
curtains, uninspired...
but I have a thought! 

Paints moved.
What a huge undertaking to move
all of your craft supplies. 
I think it is going to take weeks! 
  
I have a vendor in the shop that "Casually" mentioned
he has over 100 chairs to sell for 
$5 each.
He brought me 10!  
See those bright colors on that shelf above?
Hopefully they will be all painted 
before the camp's first event! 
 
Today, 
Kamden
and
my last paint class until fall! 
So the chairs are going to wait for now.

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
