The Copper Upcycle No2...


I made this driftwood heart way back in February 2015 
for the Office makeover.
It was super easy to make,
but it has had it's time done as office wall decor.

let's do another quick and easy upcycle,
in oh so fabulous copper....

The copper spray paint created more magic
in MINUTES!

And I LOVE it!


This little corner of my art studio is already looking like a mini makeover has happened as I collect copper inspired pieces
for the upcoming BIG Spring art studio makeover...

An Enthusiasm For Life...



Gerberas daisy flowers are incredibly fun to photograph.
With their many petals, vibrant colour,
 and centres of tightly packed stamens.
This one pink gerbera flower morphed into twenty photographs...


And from those photographs one was chosen to create
a digital artwork.

Vincent Van Goghs quote
'Colour in a picture is like enthusiasm in life'
was the perfect for the bright pink and orange painterly image.

For what would a painting be without colour?
For what would life be without enthusiasm?

Have a wonderful day my friends...

How a Floral Display Impacts The Decor....



What do Flowers bring to the home decor?
A painterly elegance...
Sometimes a floral perfume... 
Instant mood lifting appeal...


And most definitely - visual joy.

What is in this arrangement of flowers?
 Bright yellow roses...
(The perfect colour choice for cheering up a winters day).


Yellow and burgundy pinky mauve toned tulips...

And an unusual variegated chrysanthemum.

How was this display created?
A simple hand tied posy 

Strip all the lower leaves...

Arrange in one hand crossing the stems...
Put an elastic band on to hold in place.
Then trim stems to place in the vase.

How was it displayed?


On the Table, a cloth with a french themed pattern was placed.
(This is actually a piece of curtain remnant that was the perfect table size, that I hemmed the edges. Cost $4 from the curtain shop remnant bin).

The flowers are in a glass vase that sits in a white French inspired pot.


The pot was then put into a wire basket. 

In the front of the basket is a long sausage dog ornament.


Just look at that face - isn't it the cutest?


After a few days:


The rose buds and tulips opened up to let their beauty shine!

Let's Copper it!


At the moment I'm prepping for an Art Studio makeover.
It's long overdue...
I have my leather couch and french coffee table in storage,
and  I'm gathering bits and pieces to pretty up the space.
I picked up this pottery vase at the 2nd hand shop for $3.
Love the texture of it, but not the colour.
Because I am having a little crush on copper at the moment, 
there was no question what to do with it.
Let's copper it!
Oh my gosh let me loose with the spray paint!
At the same time I painted a plastic light shade too.
For as much as I would love a chandelier in my studio,
practicality and light requirement means that is not such a good idea.


The copper spray paint is fabulously easy to use
with instant coverage.
The brand I used is 'Plastikote'.

And the vase looks gorgeous in the studio... 
I cannot wait for Spring when I can complete the Art Studio makeover!
