More Unfinished Business

projects to complete
Remember these three frames from months ago?

Still waiting to be finished.

I like the blue and hate to cover it up, but I need to slather on more layers to get patina perfection.





Once they were cabinet doors.


I glued on some fancy plastic frames.









There are four layers of the paint I learned to mix in the Farragoz course.

Which I have not yet finished.











The first layer of this project completed and then discarded for another time.


A paper napkin Mod Podged onto the back of a canvas.











I may be creative and use the front instead.

Or maybe both sides so there will be a secret piece of art.
















These are usually stacked but now residing in the guest room waiting to be painted.

I tell myself I wanted five of them.





But really I am just procrastinating.










Stacks of shutter slats waiting to become Christmas stars.

And yes, I do realize that holiday is less than 100 days away.

I am trying not to wish my life away.






I am taking my unfinished projects over to Gigi at Saturday's Studio Glimpse (Old World Patina).

See y'all!

  3. Being creative is all about having tons of stuff "in process". I am so far away from this right now, and really miss it. I love that paper mod podge look! You've got some lovely stuff going. So nice to have a visit from you!

  8. I thought I was tired until I read this post-all your boundless energy makes me tired my dear friend. You can easily tell I am not a crafter. And yet I have been making jewelry. So maybe there is a glimmer of hope for me. Hope you day went well. Olive

  10. I have been wanting to take that course for a long time. Just haven't found the time yet. You should see my "stacked up" projects ...... oh my....will keep me busy all winter.

  11. Love that you also "take breaks" when doing projects. Makes me feel less unproductive when others confess a lack of progress too.
