April 30
In My Studio – April 30
.
This past week, I was busy getting ready for and going to Greyhounds in Gettyburg. I’ll be telling you all about it, starting tomorrow. So, not too much was going on in my studio. Here’s what did happen:
This tree was the last week of April’s “Try Me” button projects.
Â
I also painted this set of candlesticks.
The candlesticks came from Goodwill. I used Martha Stewart’s High Gloss Acrylic Paint. I was very impressed with its coverage, consistency and gloss. To make sure the finish is durable, let it cure for 21 days.

There’s no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat.

I like your tree, it reminds me of Spring with the white blossom.
Those paints are great for cheering things up, I enjoy painting all my old chairs and stuff.
The Wesley Bates quote is very true, they are statuesque.

I like that saying at the bottom about not needing sculpture. That’s true, but we don’t stay still very long like sculpture. I love that tree with buttons. Very nice.

You are lucky to have your very own black cat for luck:)

What a true statement about sculpture!
Love the candlesticks!
Wow, you really captured that tree! Lovely!
Your pal, Pip

Love your button tree, very stylish and the candle sticks look so bright and cheery. Look forward to reading about Greyhounds in Gettyburg xxx
I can’t wait to hear about Gettysburg. I meant to comment yesterday on the items you like to travel with. I’m interested in that pillow. I saw it on The View, too. I think I need one.
I love how the tree turned out, and thank you for the book! You are just the sweetest person I know. Hopefully Nikki is feeling better!
I really love that tree!

Haha, I like that cat comment! Those candlesticks look great. Love the colors and they look so smooth and glossy too. The tree seems like an easy project – might want to try that one day! Have a nice day!
