Creative Heart Monday - How to Make a Wooden Letter Box with Hot Glue and Stencils

Happy Creative Heart Monday!

A few years ago I found an old wooden letter box at Goodwill.  I, originally, painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and distressed it.  However, at some point, I removed it from the wall and it ended up in the back of the closet.  I happened upon it yesterday and thought it would be a good time to fix it up a little.  I've been painting lots of things in my art room with teal paint, so I slapped some on this, then used one of my favorite techniques......adding texture with hot glue.

Here we go...................



Supplies

Old wooden letter box
Sandpaper
Liquitex White Gesso
Acrylic Paint - I used Valspar House Paint in a teal color that I had mixed for another project.  You could use any acrylic paint that you have on hand.
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Black Faber Castel Pen
Inka Gold - Copper
Caran d'Ache Classic Neocolor II Water-Soluble Pastels
Floral #1 Stencil
Minwax Polycrylic Spray Sealer

I decided to add CeeCee Art to the box.  I think I'll use it to display my brochures at the art fair.

We have another Art Journal JAZZ video coming up this week!

Creative Heart Monday - Uh oh....it's Tuesday!

Happy Creative Heart Monday!

I know, I know.....it's Tuesday.  Things just ran away from me last week.  But, I did finish a quick project today.  Since, I'm completely out of new canvases, I grabbed an old canvas and used acrylic paints and Inktense pencils.  I bought these Inktense pencils awhile back because I always saw people using them and creating beautiful things.  I need to try them more often.

So.......here we go................

Creative Heart Monday - Sea of Flowers

Happy Creative Heart Monday!

I have accumulated quite a few watercolors over the past year.  On top of everything that I already had, I just had to buy the new Jane Davenport waters.  They are so bright and beautiful.  In this painting, I'm using all of my different brands together.  I just went nuts making lots and lots of watercolor blobs, hoping that they would look like flowers in the end.

Here we go.......
