How to Save a Great Vintage Frame with Shabby Chic Roses

I love to find great littles at the local Flea Market.

Littles are small object artisans find to re-purpose and sell.

I found this beautiful framed plaque that originally held a country rooster print.

It had no glass. So I thought it would be a perfect project to re-claim

I left the frame as I found it. You can see it was worth saving. It has layers of aged creamy colored paint and was sanded to perfection.

I simple pulled out my sunset colors and add painted my 

 shabby pink roses right over the rooster. A short time my project was finished.

If you find and interesting framed plaque. Don't pass it up.

re-use it and paint your art on it. 

If you would like to try my roses you and find a video on my blog 

Just look thru my post.

How To Paint Pop Art Purses

Colorful POP ART PURSE LESSON

These purses are painted on heavy water color paper in acrylic for vibrant colors

The purses have simple lines and lots of character

How to paint purses
 
Use a #10 brush
Paint background color of your choosing
(Mine is a sunset yellow and white mixture)
Use a watercolor pencil and draw a circle and triangle base and straps.
Don't worry if its not perfect. You want it to look hand drawn.

Paint pretty pink. Let dry a minute or two.

Use a #8 round brush
 Add a swirl of white starting in the center of the purse.

Give it a professional touch using a black outline 

When it is complete dry use a liner brush and outline the purse in black

Wa La
You painted a Pop Art Purse 

Tips
The size shown is 4" x 6"
That is called Mini Art if you plan to sell yours on eBay
Lots of folks collect Mini Art and it sells very well

I love the torn edges when i use this style of paper.

 It gives the painting a natural, modern parchment look and feel.

Give it a try!
