Keeping Busy

Found this junktiquing and I don't have the before photo>rats but these are the after photos. It was a dark brown before the yellow paint was applied > many layers of yellow paint and I'm not done with the legs yet. I wasn't sure what to do until Ollie suggested a bouquet of flowers for the top. Not quite happy with the way the leaves and stems came out but hey for $12 in materials, I think that it was well worth my time.

Junk-tiqueing Is it an art , sport or just another addiction? I blew glass in college and the piece on the right looks like a very skillfully made bit of Italian glassware to me. At least I apreciate how good the glass artist is/was who made it. And the budgies? A whole lot of work for just a dollar/ I feel like I'm on a grandma's projects rescue mission. The love that went into these simple things is so charming to me. And the practical side of being cheap is that you run into 10k gold crosses for $2 while junktiqueing....

Happy Easter When I was growing up we always made two large batches of eggs for Easter. One was for the store bought egg dye and another pot full of white eggs with onion skins thrown into the water to turn them a wonderful almost chocolate brown.
