Here’s my latest Christmas Craft!

-

 Hi everybody! I just made this sign and I thought you might want to hear a few painting techniques. 

1. Blend the colors using straight, horizontal lines. See that ombré effect?

2. Use a sponge brush. I make my own out of battery pack foam insulator, or you can buy one. It adds so much texture! 

3. When painting on a wood surface, paint only a thin coat of light brown to retain some of that wood-y texture! 

4. Try to paint using light colors. That way if you miss a spot, it doesn’t show up as prominently. 

Want to see a picture of my sign using these techniques? See if you can spot the texture and ombré effects! 

Merry Christmas everybody!

So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I cou...
