Summer Dreams House


Recycled house made from the top of a fence post!
Moo Mania Challenge

The Moo Mania Challenge is to make a recycled piece of artwork.
Luckily my brother has been busy building fences at my moms house and his.  A couple of weeks age I asked him if I could have the scrap from the fencing.  Also if he could cut the "a little wonky!".  Yup theta what I asked!  And he was nice enough to entertain me! Now I have a box of shapes, its great! So here goes!


Sand & Prime


While the gesso is drying run to staples to get color copies!!!
( Trying to use my own work as much as possible!)
Oh by the way Staples was crazy!!! Last minute school supplies!


Add copies with gel medium


Remember theres two sides!!!


Start Painting


I used stencils, my fingers, a brush, and sponges.  
Basicly a little of everything.
I got so involved I forgot to take pictures! Oops!

Finished Piece






I really enjoyed this! Hope you do too!
Luckily I have a lot more scraps of wood!

    1. I have to say it felt good to go to the self serve area and walk through the gigantic line to get out of staples! I then took my son to Walgreens to get a notebook! No line there!
