Sooooo...5-6 months later....yep...it took me that long. Procrastination is my sir name. But that's what you get when you combine a procrastinator and perfectionist. Not saying I'm a perfectionist per-say...more like I like things to look perfect, and knowing I can't get it like that in 5 minutes drives me crazy! Weeks would go by without even pulling it out to work on. So the end result is that crafts take me an anguishing amount of time to complete. In fact, even after My hubby declared that I was finished with this mirror, I kept pulling it out and picking out what I don't like and catching myself going for the paints again. (which I did twice after the declaration!) So without further ado...and proof that I completed a project...here is the finished project! Please be kind...I love art and wished I was just like my friend Beth Senn, who could have whipped this sucker out in 5 minutes...and make it look like the real thing...no exaggeration!!! She rocks!
Hahaahaa...I think I'm procrastinating putting up the pics! Here's the card that she wanted a painting of...
This is what she's getting...
You can see in this last pic that I had gone back and darkened up the grass...which is driving me crazy because it's lopsided...oh maybe it's on a hill! LOL I like that the relfection of my floor makes it look like the basket is on the floor...cool.
It was neat taking pictures of the mirror...first one I took, there was a reflection of me in it...delete. Then the next one I took you could see my messy cubbies in my bedroom...delete. Then another I took while it was on my stove. That one was hilarious because it looked like the basket of flowers were drifting in the air in my kitchen...
Let me know if you'd put this up on your wall. I think it's going in her bedroom...maybe nobody goes in there but her!
