COLORS AND PATTERNS; OH MY!

Decisions, Decisions... My room has become a layout in progress, evolving with constant change. The room is now painted and I have my window embellishments up (I may still add the clear crystals). Yup, those are scarves I bought at Walmart. I do not have any traditional window coverings in my house. All are unique. The wall border is made from vinyl. I cut out paisleys with my silhouette and then inked with alcohol inks.
I have fabrics and other goodies lined up for projects, but you'll just have to check back at another time to see what I have in store!

SILHOUETTES AND CHANDELIERS

The room is cleaned out and my colors are chosen (far from my original thoughts). The back wall of the room was recently painted a darker violet, so I thought I would keep it. (John thanks me; LOL...) The rest of the walls will be a pinkish shade of taupe. A muted apple green and raspberry will be the coordinating colors, along with Amethyst and clear crystals adorning the window valance and lamp shade. Kind of... Vintage-Bohemian-Shabby Chic.
I have finished my LO for the title page of this blog and to hang in my studio. I love how it turned out. I used my silhouette to cut out the chandelier from glossy photo paper and then used alcohol inks to give it a worn patina finish. The pic is of my Grandson at 7 months, he is wearing a halo and white fluffy angel wings. I altered the pic using my Photo shop program to give it a watercolor effect and then tore the edges and distressed them. The letters are painted with crackle paint. Now to find a frame.

VINTAGE BEGINNINGS

A NEW NAME for a NEW STUDIO, formerly called le-petit Studio. I have my ideas in my head, my colors in mind and a sketch book in my hand.

Scrappy, Scrappy Doooooooo

I am so excited! My daughter just moved out (no that's not the excitement- LOL) and I get my very own scraproom. I share half the office with my husband, but space is cramped. I was thinking of making the extra room into a toy room for my grandbaby, but hubby suggested I turn it into a craft room. Not that he wants me out of the office, (LOL) but because he knows I get so frustrated with lack of space. So, as soon as the room is cleared and the bed moved into my son's room... PAINT,PAINT,PAINT...STENCIL MY WALL...CLEAN THE CARPET...BUILD MY DESK (that's John's task)...PUT UP SHELVES...DECORATE...AND FILL THE ROOM WITH STUFF!!! I have so many ideas. YIPPEE!!!

TIME PASSES

I'm playing catch up this week. It is April already and I am behind on my LO's. Not that I will ever be caught up, but I would as least like to try with my Grandson's. I have finished four LO's and a zig zag book for my MIL. I still need to add my journaling to a couple, always the last thing I do and then off to the post office.
