I thought I would share with you all today this great hat box I purchased at a flea market about 2 years ago, that’s right 2 years ago! It has been sitting around just waiting for me to paint something on it, so I finally had decided I wanted to paint this adorable pattern I had for Santa and the Angel.
I am not very good at painting faces and it is something I try to avoid, but I know I am missing out on a wonderful opportunity to expand my artistic talent. So I thought I would use this great hat box to try my hand at painting Santa’s face and the side view of this adorable Angel.
I will admit I really struggled with the facial features and repainted and repainted several area’s and when I paint this pattern again I will change a few things that I am not happy with this time around, but in the end I feel it turned out pretty well and I am very happy with my self for giving it a try. I am sure my family will be very happy, I plan on filling up this great hat box with some holiday baking goodies for them!
I have another round shaker box that has been sitting around for while, I think its time to dust it off and practice another face on that one as well, when I finished I will be sure to share the final piece with you.
Thanks for stopping by!
