Their title

This is my last piece that I have done for her beside the boutonniere which she had two kinds. One we had to insert a candle and the other ones almonds so yes we were very busy.  My daughter also wanted the bridal table to be decorated with their name so she ordered Mr and Mrs and their surname. It was raw mdf so I bought undercoat and paint spray. It has to be done slowly so you don't get drips and also covers evenly. So I managed to make them with a lot of patience.

Renovated chair

I like to renovate chairs so when I see an opportunity I will grab it. Fortunate for me I saw a kid's chair very close to home and I wanted to renovate it. I washed well the frame real well and disinfected it with disinfectant product. The red chair cover comes off so I washed that very well too. I, then, took the foam and bought exactly the same size and thickness which costed me about $18.50. Came home and put it all together my old man helped out with the screws. I could have painted the wood but I thought it is still pretty good and shiny. I also could have done a new modern seat cover but this red one is still very good so I decided to wash them well and leave them as they were. Here are the pictures of the before and after. It looks nice as you all agree.

   

Some of the paintings I've done

Hi, I always liked painting.I find it fascinating how they can create a picture out of paints and brushes on a blank canvas,don't you? I am a person that I like to know how things are made. I'm interested in a lot of things. I am a person who knows a lot of things but master of none. I started painting pictures by painting by numbers. You used to find nicer pictures to buy not these days though.I went for some lessons here ant they don't teach you anything they will help you out on what you don't know. I tried two classes. I should have kept trying to find better classes but I wanted to go close to home. I gave up and tried on my own and these are a few I've done.

restoration rocking chair

I saw this rocking chair outside a front garden of a house, and I had a big idea to restore it. Recycle it I thought. So I knocked on the door. A young guy opened the door, I asked him can I please have the chair that you have on your front garden. He said sure and helped me load it in my car. I thanked him and went home. I thought I wouldn't do a good job dismantle it so I asked my man to do it. I bought material and new sponges cut to size. We gave the chair a good paint. We put it all together and here it is.  My eldest daughter loved it and she took it home in one of her bedrooms.

My dog

I made this painting about two or three years ago. I never learnt how to paint, though I picked art at school. I never forget, it was a male teacher. It was his first year teaching in a girls school. All he wanted to do was, fool around with the girls. I hate him for it because I was seriously about learning how to draw and paint. Maybe no one can teach you that. It was done free hand no tricks of tracing before hand. I am proud of it at least it resembles a dog. She is so cute.
