New cement gallery

29/6/2018

While I'm on the right wave of web activity. HeHe, sounds doggy!

Decided to add new gallery with my latest interest in Cement pieces. I have made few cement decor for your home or office and still have a bag of cement in my shed. So in near future you will see me making more cement pots and vases and airplant holders. 
My interest stretches as far as lamp shades from cement and maybe even furniture ..... I doubt that very much !!!

I  still haven't find the correct proportions for cactus pots so I will stick to the pots and vases at the moment.
I do like them! Do you?-------- click on the link

Well well, my week off ends now. 

It's time to wrap up all the projects started, finished ones and half-way ones.

I has been intense time for me. It's probably wasn't that obvious for my home crowd but it was for me. 

Psychically and mentally .. i was catching up 
Catching up with what exactly? I could not tell you!
I made a few cement pots and one experimental cement vase with glass tube resting now besides blackboard globes.

I painted it with such a strong yellow paint that its basically radiates light. Sunshine which has just exhausted here in Ireland.    

This chunk of home decorating and stylish living magazines is left almost untouched.

AGAIN!

Well, again!

Another day I was looking on my Blog in Mobile version and I did like how it look. It helped me to come back to writing on my web site. 
It shows less but looks more modern if you wish to say so :)
Couple days ago I received parcel from Latvia with different kind of old stuff from our childhood.

​Our I mean my sisters and mine. We have 1 year difference in age so we had the same childhood experience.
Over the years so often we thought we will trow it all away. Give it all away. But there was always some strong nostalgic feeling. I just couldn't trow things from my memories away.
Me being hoarder helped a lot, I must say! Ha Ha Haa....

On these images I wanted to show you that old and new goes together so well. 
FASHION RETURNS!!! ALWAYS!

That heavy solid glass triangle shaped dish and beige vase with ornaments come from our childhood.

Mam kept them behind the glass in shelving unit that  everyone had at home those days. Hmm.

Air plant, copper pipe joints and yellow square candle are from now. 

Costs nothing but complements my drear vintage pieces so well! 

Don't you think?!
Fashion returns! That is all the morale of the day.

This is what I snatched from TKmaXX shelve. The Grey globe on  silver metal stand. Heavy and sturdy enough. 
And the picture on the right is what inspired me to turn them in black chalk paint decors. 
***********************
I love that smudged chalk look!!!

And this is after middle stage this little globe was. White and with Dream it quote. Did not lived long. It was a bit of eye sore. Sweet but did not fit in my space. So it had to get some change. So he did!!!

And this is final result! Two GLOBES painted in 3 layers of black mat chalk board paint. Seasoned with chalk not to leave marks if you want to write.

You can write ion them, you can smudge chalk all over them, you can place them in your home sitting pretty. 

Not eye sore anymore. I will be a little sad to see them go but I just cannot keep them because I have huge box of STUFF coming from LV to be put in use....

I have had few of Dandelion wall decors in my Etsy store and they sold pretty fast.

Meanwhile me, like a true artist just kept creating new designs and dismissed what public wanted to see.  
So now I have new smashing hot dandelion on the shelve!!!

I used my favorite find, an old cottage door planks. It is original green paint with pieces of chippy blue paint leftovers.

I just had to keep the vintage look!
White dandelion distressed with a little bit of dark wax. Originally the green wood was a little bit lighter shade but I used clear wax all over my piece which made it slightly darker in colour.

This piece is full of character and vintage holes. If you appreciate old and pretty, you will love it!
