...I havent done anything artsy since spring...when I did 12 Potting Chairs for the Humaine Socieity fundraiser...I painted them Black or white then did splatter paint,and I sealed them with clear. I took the easy way out..splatter paint...
i did so many and it was time consumming,so splatter....Besides it was sooo FUN flinging paint
The Dh helped with the chicken wire and cutting holes in the seats ,he reinforced the seats w/holes,Then I filled them full of petunias,lobelia
