Final Look of Art Car in 2012

Pin It Now!

Well, since the rain is upon us, I think I will put the art car endeavor to rest until the sun comes out.  I have collected quite a number of mardi gras beads and I can't wait to add them to the hood, but it just can't be done unless I have two days of no rain, which may happen at some point this Autumn and winter.  I will keep you posted.

Here is the final outcome for 2012:

Don't worry, this project isn't over!

Solid Gold Shoe Planter

Pin It Now!

I've always wanted to make a succulent planter out of old shoes.  I really wanted to make one as a birthday gift for my sister-in-law.  It turned out the universe answered my call and I found a pair of shoes way past their prime in a free box.

I thought what do these shoes need?  Gold spray paint, of course.  I sprayed them up and planted a few chicks and hens in the shoes and ta-da a solid gold birthday gift.
Enjoy~
