Surprising because my dishwasher died, it has been on its last leg for some time and I was hoping to keep it plugging along until after Christmas but we all know about those best laid plans. LOL. Appliances donot always cooperate. Needless to say my husband I were out shopping for a new dishwasher today. I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner and I want to have a functioning dishwasher in time for the holiday. I have to admit that even with help dishes are not my favorite thing to do. We found one and it was ON SALE. WaaHoo!!! Even better! At any rate when we got home and after I did a few of my weekend household chores I was able to carve out a small amount of time to paint.
I am painting this adorable heart box for a new pattern that will be available soon. I wanted it to have a loose background that I showed you last week as I was stenciling. I'm sure that you can see the Valentine theme that I've used but my goal is not for this to be used just as a holiday project instead that it could be used year round for someone special. I've added the design elements and have added the Gesso. I like to have a white background to paint on and use gesso frequently. It takes a little more time to add but I think that the result is worth it, I like clean crisp paint colors. You can see how the stenciled background will work with the finished piece.
This is the first pattern that I am planning to show you as it progresses. This is something new in my blogging life and am curious as to how you will enjoy it. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
