Welcoming summer ...


footstool make over; bohemian style !!





The stool was not something antique, or well made for that matter, the lady who had it at her yard sale asked $2 for it. When I saw it I immediately thought of a make over.

I used folk art paint for the surface and, for the decorative patterns.


Neon coloured pom-poms added extra colour and texture that I had in mind. I enjoyed myself doing this project.
And, today's weather was just so warm and sunny, I took it out to the park to take these pictures.



-digital art-

I also experimented with a new art application which was I found in my Galaxy phone ;it also includes a pen that you can use it for drawing and, for writing which is great. But I think, I prefer the ipad better for digital drawings because it has a wider screen.







Footstool ....

cover....make over (crochet)


This makeover was done with cotton yarn that I have collected from the thrift stores.  The original cover (above right) has nice indian embroidery work with mirrors, but the colour is quite pale.( for my liking) I have had it for few years now, and finally I thought of giving it a new look with crocheting.




I am pleased with my attempt, and I am loving the new colours too :)


a happy Easter and Passover  weekend!!

Thank you for taking time to stop by,
