Finished the 'BIRD HOUSE" watering .

Well today I finished the watering can that I have been working on. I am calling it the BIRD HOUSE watering can :D I painted lots of cute bird houses all the way around the can along with bumble bee's, lady bugs, dragon fly's, an inch worm and some pretty little flowers! There's even a birds nest with eggs in it! On the top of the can I painted a smiling sun shine girl! This can will look really cute sitting on someones front porch to water all those beautiful summer flowers! I hope you like it...it is going on e-bay soon.

How To Remove Stubborn Stickers

I recently had some trouble getting a very stubborn sticker off of a watering can I wanted to paint on. I posted a question on Face Book asking for idea's on how to remove it. Here is what I got:

1. Hair Dryer (heat it up and peel it off)
2. Fingernail Polish Remover (rub over sticker and scrap off)
3. Peanut Butter (apply, let sit and then scrap off)
4. Vegetable Oil (apply, let sit and scrap off)
5. Goo Gone (Found at the Dollar Tree for $1)
6. Wall Paper Remover.

There were so many good ideas and thought I would share them. so the next time you have a stubborn sticker and you can not get it off...try one of these idea's :D

My Newest Design

I hope you are not all tired of seeing the watering cans I am painting on. My husband and I have been cleaning out our barn to make room for our shop and I came across this box of watering cans along with many other treasures to paint on! I will be gone this weekend visiting my son and daughter in law in Chicago so you will have to wait untill next week to see the finished piece :D

WATERING CAN WITH CHECKS

Well my Blog has been down for a couple of days while they repaired the site...lost all my comments :( But I wanted to post a picture of the watering can I painted with checks painted around the bottom rim. See what you think about it this way.... Thanks for looking :D

WATERING CAN

5/12/11 Well I think I am done with this watering can. I can't decide whether or not to add a checkerd pattern to the bottom rim of the can or leave it the way it is. Once I decide I still need to seal the can and then it is ready to sell :)

***AMERICA***

Two days ago I started working on this cute little cabnit. I layed awake half the night trying to decide what I wanted to paint on it! lol I had no way of knowing what all was about to take place in our world. With Memorial Day and the Fourth Of July coming up I had decided to paint something patriotic. After the news last night being patriotic holds a little more meaning to me.
