Painting Made Easy

Supplies:

Canvas

textured flower craft or wall paper

Glue

Acrylic paint

tissue paper

paint brushes

Glue textured paper onto canvas. Let dry. Then paint the entire piece of paper a light color for the background. If you want to break up the pattern then you can glue strips of tissue paper in random places. Look at the right side of my canvas. You can see where I glued strips of tissue paper. Now start painting the flowers any color you want and you can paint over the tissue paper.You can frame it when you are done.

Jewelry - Vintage Pendant

This pendant was made with my Grandmother's jewelry. It was an earring that I made into a pendant.

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray 1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base." Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
