Faux Mosaic Vase with glass paint

October 1, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Faux Mosaic with Glass Paint

There’s nothing better than projects that go really, really fast. Right? This project, however, does not fall into that category. Just sayin’. It’s not that it’s difficult. Quite the opposite. It’s actually really simple. I used the glass stain paints I used for the faux stained glass fall leaf window and a square vase I […]

Easy “Faux” Stone Dollar Store Platter

September 14, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 7 Comments

faux-stone-platter

I promised myself I wasn’t going to buy anything new for Halloween this year. I wasn’t going to decorate here at the house either. I have a few plans for my grandson’s house, but not here. Nope, not gonna do it. Then I went to the Dollar Store, just to kill time while Mom was […]

Make a Faux Stained Glass Window with #DecoArt

I am so excited to share this project with you! A few weeks ago I received an incredible box of assorted glass paints from DecoArt. They are scrumptious! You’ll be seeing tons of glass painting projects here soon, believe me. But when I saw Glass Stains, I knew what my first project would be – […]

Fashionista Painting

lavender high heel painting

You don’t have to be a fashionista to love high heels. I love high heels. I’m not a fashionista. Never have been, never will be. I still love high heels though. There was even a time when I wore them. Way back when. No longer. Now I just paint pictures of high heels. Just like […]

Draw Wildflowers with Fabric Markers

Draw Wildflowers with Fabric Markers

For many people ‘summer’ means the beach. Sand, water, seashells. But not for me. Summer, to me, means the mountains, where I spent every childhood summer. The mountains – pine trees, pinecones, crystal blue lakes, and wildflowers. I’m trying to get Mom to our cabin as much as possible this year. I’ve made it my […]

Pug Dog Painting – A Joyful Memorial

June 22, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Pug Painting

Painting portraits has never been my ‘thing’. Especially human portraits. Except when it comes to dogs. Then it’s more than painting. It’s absolute sheer joy. Oftentimes, I don’t even get to meet the pup irl. But, I did get to meet sweet l’il Nellie (and her mommy) the day before my husband went to the […]

Spray Paint Pillows

Spray Paint Pillows

A while back I started some paint projects for Memorial Day. Well, since Life thru me a curve ball, I’ll just use these for 4th of July. This project didn’t start off as a pillow, actually. I had these wooden stars in my unmade Christmas project stash. You know the one, right? Unmade Christmas, unmade […]

Craft A Chalkboard from a Mirror

June 8, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 8 Comments

Craft Chalkboard from Mirror

Yes. You read that right. A chalkboard. From a mirror. It wasn’t exactly what I first had in mind when the great people at Plaid Crafts sent me this goodie box. Craft paint, glitter paint, chalkboard paint, Mod Podge, foam applicators and Hello! new paintbrushes! I always need new paintbrushes. It’s no secret that I […]
