Last night while I was creating more bedspring wreaths, I made another heart, a small star and a regular round wreath. I was trying to figure out a way to make them look more unique and more like art. I like the plain or one color, but I also like simple things until I created these:

Both of these were trial runs to see if I would like the end result, I was pleasantly surprised and will continue to work to perfect hand painting these, as well as other pieces The only major problem right now is the paint I used was a little chunky and did not go on smooth, so I am going to look for new paint today and hopefully I will be more satisfied with the end result. Watch for these items coming soon to my
etsy shop!
On a side note, nothing makes you smile more than waking up to this on a Friday morning:

Even though it was a chilly 0 degrees this morning, I still smiled! This is why I love Northern New York!
