I had to spend a hundred bucks on a trail camera, you know how you welcome that kind of expenditure when you move and are living the first year in the new home
, and if any of you would like photos of a mail truck, garbage truck, traditional AND recycling, UPS, FedEx, a school bus and trucks from 8 different home fuel oil companies, why, just let me know!
Hi Karen!! And thank you Betty and Vicki, I appreciate the support. Let me tell you why I'm extra nervous about this project. I used to volunteer at a school and I did a lot of artwork and used this Jo Sonja's Acrylic Gouache. Yeah, you read that right. I bought it because it seemed forgiving and the price was right. Pearl Paint, RIP, had it in their craft section even though they took pains on the tube to say THIS IS NOT A CRAFT PAINT. Whatever. Worked great for school, but then the school closed, so I had all of this leftover, and I had these outdoor containers that I think are polypropylene that were that standard home center green and really faded, so I took this paint and redid them and they came out great, I used up all but this one tube of carbon black. And they worked out fine. When I got here, I noticed how faded they were, couple of deck boxes, too, so I said, let me sacrifice some of my good acrylic paint and do up a few of these. I did two of the containers, one deck box, and it all just started to peel off. A waste of time, paint, effort, money...And these were just painted for color, no artwork on them. The idea of doing what I want to do on these cans and having it peel off makes me sick.
