Painting in a Winter Wonderland 12/03/2011
The last few days of this week, I've been involved with Christmas decoration set up at ALC, along with all the Academy Students. Every room in the buildings is being transformed into a Winter Wonderland and I was happy to cut out snowflakes for one day and then yesterday to paint! Enjoy some pictures, compliments of my friend Fi Holland! :) It's funny how painting brings back memories. Here's a few from years ago that came to mind yesterday.
A duplicate of this castle is on the other side of the room, and had been painted 2 years ago, so my job was to duplicate the stone work. Creativity was flowing as I was mixing paint colours to match, using sponges, and worked with silver paint (that's intended for car rust touch up). See the finished silver door behind me and Fi in the middle picture (below). The only 'downer' of the day was I wore inappropriate clothing. Now they have paint on them. Boooo. Do you have any painting tips? What's your favourite DIY (do it yourself) job? Leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!
