Dreaming of Spring

I love finding flat front, tall chest of drawers or wide dressers that offer a blank canvas for getting creative. I knew when I picked up this tall boy chest, that it would be perfect for the floral/dragonfly graphic I came across several  months ago (sorry I can't remember where).  I knew the graphic needed a base of classic off white so I underbrushed ASCP Paris Gray then brushed on ASCP Old White. Viola...my canvas was ready!

I like to use the projector method on a lot of my graphics, mainly because I can't draw stick figures. :) I started out by filling in the turquoise flowers using ASCP Florence then finished up with the Gray/Black. After a lot of tweaking, I was pretty happy with the outcome and she was finally ready for her distressing and waxing.



In the end, I gave her a pedicure with wooden caster wheels and new jewelry with her crackled glass knobs.



I should have taken pictures as I went a long, but didn't, and am now kicking myself for it. Being new to the blog world I need to get better at that...and posting to my blog for that matter. It's a process I guess!
