    What I Made

    Mixed Media Art Project–Painting, Stamping, Decoupage

    October 30, 2019 /

    As a kid, I wasn’t always into art.  Yes, I loved my Spirograph, Shrinky Dinks, and Fashion Plates (weren’t those the BEST?!,) but I was not necessarily “artistic” per se.  I was more of a “performing arts” kind of gal who loved and still loves dance and theater.  As an adult, I have been spending more time over the years trying to become more crafty, artistic, and creative, and I have been really enjoying the process.  Pinterest has helped with that.

In response to my “Who wants to teach me something?” call, she offered to teach me to paint.  She had no experience teaching painting, but I had no experience being taught (elementary school doesn’t count), so we had absolutely nothing to lose!  Long story short, we had a fantastic day together! We did not start at the…
