Painted Dollar Store Mugs

February 25, 2014 By Colleen Jorgenson 3 Comments

Painted Mugs

I’m not sure if I mentioned it here before but I became a contributor to one of my favorite blogs, Saved By Love Creations. Once a month I’ll be creating a fun l’il project and posting it on SBLC. (Today I’m sharing my Painted Retro Shoes!) But before you click over there to see the […]

November 28, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 2 Comments

Christmas Painting

Paint a Christmas Canvas by simply using stickers or, in my case, Silhouette vinyl. Position stickers, paint ombre effect over the top, remove stickers.

Make Dollar Store Plates Spooky with Paint

October 15, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 1 Comment

Dollar Store Spooky Plates

I often don’t know what I’m gonna paint on stuff I buy. Hence my workshop is full of shelves brimming with “paintables”, as in To Be Painted. Like TBD (to be determined). Like FOP (full of potential). But when I saw these black plates at the dollar store, I knew exactly what I wanted to […]

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 […]

Faux (paw) Finish Alabaster Eggs

March 16, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 5 Comments

Faux Alabaster Easter Eggs

I should probably call these faux ‘foil-wrapped chocolate eggs’ but that isn’t what this faux finish is. It truly is a finish that would mimic alabaster, IF I had used eggs with a smooth finish. Which I didn’t. Let me explain. I got all excited when I heard Young House Love was hosting a Winter […]

Day 23: Painted Fall Napkins

Painted Fall Napkins

Hey there! How are you today? Have you ever painted on fabric before? It’s one of my favorite things to paint on and after these napkins, I’m wondering why I don’t do it more often. We interrupt this blog post for a special announcement . . . . Voting for the NFL Pro Bowl starts […]

Day 22: Painted Fall Wine Goblets

Painted Fall Wine Goblets

Hi there! I’m so excited to show you this Fall paint project today. Now, at first glance you might think that there’s no way you’d want to paint wine goblets. A few hours ago, I felt exactly the same way, believe me. You see, I have a little history with painting wine glasses. As in, […]
