Oh, You Want the Truth?
Another piece based on another Pink song! Apparently, she's my muse! This one is "Truth About Love" which is, coincidentally, the title of the latest album. What do you mean you don't have it yet? OMG! You have to have it! Here's the link: Truth About Love.
Okay. Here we go!
The Process...
This one started out as a brown & tan embellished zebra print I'd done. Loved the piece when I first painted it; didn't like it nearly as much a few years (and a few rhinestones) later.
Of course, I deleted the original painting and pic from Etsy. Ah well, here it is rhinestone-less and Gesso'd.
As you can see, I managed a couple of holes during deconstruction, but I like texture. It's my thing, so it's all good! I began with an idea of using the zebra strips as some kind of off-balanced heart...
The Finished Piece!
Love the original? Get it on Etsy! Prints are now available too on Saatchi Online! What the heck are you waiting for?

Repurpose a Vinyl Record into a Trendy Tray
I had tons of fun with this project! I started with an old vinyl record I had in the closet. If you don't have any laying around, you can find them pretty cheaply at thrift stores.
Here's the final result:
And here we go!
Materials:
Turn your oven on to about 200-250 degrees. Place the plate upside down on the cookie sheet and the LP on the plate. It doesn't take long for the vinyl to heat up. Since I was working on some other projects and got distracted, I left mine in the oven about 10 minutes, but 3-5 is really all that's necessary.
After taking the record out of the oven, let it cool and then remove it from the plate.
Next, cut 2 circles out of your scrapbook paper. Paint a layer of Mod Podge over the label, place one of the circles there and paint another layer over the circle. Repeat on the other side. I usually do three coats each as I like the high gloss.
I also used a damp washcloth to remove the excess Mod Podge. Let dry.
To attach the base I used 527 Bond which is my favorite go to adhesive. It holds great!
For best results, let dry overnight. And violla! There you have it! Perfect for jewelry, cosmetics, etc!
