GDT at Art By Miran*

Good morning and a very happy Friday!! I'm working from home today. I spent most of my day yesterday working on a problem at work. I was exhausted! Tonight, Michael works and Bailey is staying at school to go to the football game. Should be a nice, quiet night for Kevin and I :)  Then tomorrow, I have a full day at the park for Bailey's games. We are suppose to get rain. We will see!!


I was asked to be a Guest Designer on the Art By Miran blog. I couldn't be more excited and truly honored to be asked. This is what I have created... or recreated is more like it :)










For this creation I have used A Birdie Told Me from Art By Miran. I colored her with Copic Markers and I did just a small amount of layering.

I found this little item at the Goodwill store close to my house. I paid a little over $3 for it. I wish I had taken a photo of it before, but I forgot to! It was a dark brown, the edges were worn down and it had some oriental writing on the drawers. I sanded it down and painted it in a dark gray. Then I put a layer of Crackle on it and topped it with a light blue.I dabbed some gold paint around it a bit. The original knobs on the drawers were a small round, boring knob. So, I changed those out for these knobs and I think they look much better. I added some gem swirls on each drawer and some roses. This was created with my Mother in mind. This will be one of her Christmas gifts :) I hope she will like it!
