Pipe Cleaner Crafts

Dying/staining these silver tinsel pipe cleaners brings about a total transformation. They look amazingly Edwardian. You know those early 20th century postcards with the tarnished silver glass glitter?? That's what these pipe cleaners remind me of. Some years ago I... Continue reading

Hi Barbara....these photos with the iphone app are really cool. I have a ferris wheel photo I want to paint but I want to paint it loose and kind of abstract so I wait til I feel capable. I wanted you to know that I have a few pics of Beula on my hard drive waiting for when I feel brave enough to try painting a dog. I'm finding that if you can paint one thing you can paint another so I might give it a whirl soon:)
