It is THYME to paint your HEART out


I belong to a paint chat group on Face Book called




Our group consists of over 2555 members from all over the world!
We have all have 2 things in common
WE LOVE TO PAINT
AND
WE WANT TO FILL THE WORLD WITH COLOR!


We recently had a
 SWAP
the only rule was that we had to paint something for our partner on a
HEART
shaped surface!
I found this heart shaped keepsake box to paint my project on


After prepping my surface and basecoating
I used a scruffy brush to paint a 
HEART
on
my box


I then added one stroke leaves free hand around the
HEART
The design that I used is based on a 
Jamie-Mills Price design
from her book
Christmastime Between the Vines


I then randomly free hand painted roses in various shades of burgundy and pink



I lightly shaded around my design and added some wispy vines


I painted the inside of my box in burgundy


 and
 added a delicate vine around the sides


I drilled holes in the back of my box near the hinges 
and 
strung thru a matching satin bow





I added some 
LOVE


and 
HERSHEY KISSES
inside my box.



I took an old paint brush, dipped the bristles in a glitter paint and let dry.
I then wrapped the handle of the brush with a satin ribbon and added a small tag
which said 
Paint your HEART out


I hope my friend Milena enjoys her swap!!!!
Hugs,
Lynn

Thyme for more snow, HEARTS and a design by Jamie Mills Price



Here in New England 
we are certainly experiencing
WINTER
LOVE
it's 
BEAUTY
We have well over
 2'
of snow.
This is a picture looking out my back door. 
My lamp  post is SLOWLY disappearing!


this is my deck............ummmmmm
so where is my grille???????
LOL!


I have been very busy painting HEARTS and SIGNS for
the shop I paint for



It's thyme to change seasons
AND
It is all about
LOVE
these are some

HEART
keepsake boxes
painted a few years ago for a wedding shower
  

I painted the inside of the boxes with
Americana Periwinkle paint

I removed the hinges,
drilled holes, strung the ribbon
and
tied it in a bow

I used a
Jamie Mills-Price design
to
paint these hearts

Happy Painting!
Lynn


"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. 
Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, 
and
 at the end of the day you don't look at it 
and 
wish you had painted something different."
