Covered my head

Well the yard sale is over and sold a lot of little things gave away a french provincial desk minus any drawers. I just had $5.00 on it and it didn't sell so I put it on the curb.It's gone
I had wanted to stay home all day and just piddle so I planted a few more flowers and then started painting a chair I am going to put back in my bedroom.


This is only part of the before picture , it was a wood looking before and then this green striped seat.
I had it in my bedroom for about 2 years now going to paint it , I have to many projects sitting around, anyway this is just primer on it

                          
  I got the primer on the seat also and let it dry all afternoon.
No finished picture like everyone else shows LOl
I have some very light light blue I think I will paint it because I have a blue & white toile in my bedroom. Once I thought of a metallic gold ! ? I will show a finished picture when I get it finished

Then I went to work covering a wig head , I used glue and water ,decoupage glue

                                                   
 It was so nice outside today I put my patio umbrella up and just stayed outside just about all day

                                     


little to close for a good picture. I tore up a Trader Joe's grocery sack to use . I was going to use music sheets but then seen this sack in one of my paper drawers


                                                                             
                                        

                                              
you would think I have nothing to do to take the time to play with this project LOL I did 4 loads of laundry and hung them out on my clothes line before I started this . I love to hang clothes outside to dry

                                                
    this is the seat of the chair with primer , yes a material seat
I will make up my mind what color to paint it and let you know, suggestion are always welcome

I just love those Trader Joe's grocery sacks when I go to the  St Louis store I always ask for extra sacks

Now I had a nice lady come to my yard sale , Peggy and she ask me to take a look at her Pinterest page so I am going to do that tomorrow at work, I have the best job I can surf the Internet all day . I answer a phone and just transfer people all day long so in between calls I read blogs, it's OK  per my boss. Best job I ever had , not pay wise LOL

  6. I like the way the wig head is turning out. I have a doll head I am thinking of doing something similar with. What kind of glue did you use?

  9. Hello Janice:
    Your chair is absolutely wonderful and if, when finished [please do show pictures!] you find that you do not want it in your bedroom, then please ship it at once to Budapest where it will look magnificent in our drawing room!!

    Would that we had half of your creative talent. The wig head is transformed - we could do with several of these too!!

    Thank you so much for the comment which you left on our latest post and to which we have replied. Through it we have discovered and followed you and will much look forward to staying in touch.

  16. That does sound like the perfect job for getting things done online! I need a job like that! Your Trader Joe head is very cute. We have something else in common: a blue and white master bedroom! I have blue and white toile, and all kinds of other blue and white stuff, in there!
