It's been awhile!

Hello All . . . I am going to try and be better about posting something new.  I have decided I will have a "feature" each week and will try and post on Wednesdays.  That seems to be my least busy day.


A couple of items . . . after the beginning of 2012 - yes 2012 already - I am going to hold a class once a month.  The class cost will be $5.00 and will be for 2 1/2 hours. We will vary the times so everyone can get a chance to come.  We will be doing a daytime, an evening and possibly a Saturday.  


The class will be called "Catchup and Mustard up the Energy to Finish!  We will just call it Catchup for short. I will do a short 20-30 minutes demonstration or talk or how to do things....such as crackle, reduce and enlarge patterns, the importance of basecoats, etc.  You can bring things to finish or just get help on something you want to paint or just paint.  More information will follow as the beginning of the year gets closer.


The "feature" for this week will be a painting tip . . .
When starting a new project, trace around your surface onto tracing paper.  Then use that tracing to actually trace your pattern.  It will fit the surface and you can also center it much better so it fits nicely.


Until next week . . . keep those minds busy and those paintbrushes moving!
