pinterest party. party of.. one. 

for those of you who don't know, i'm a pinterest addict. i can proudly say that i didn't pin during finals week though! but that just means i've been pinning triple the past week to make up for it. and thus i am inspired to actually pin something from my "ideas, ideas" board. if you want to just on the pinterest wave, click here and follow me! 

i think the theme for today's projects was color. i love love love color. ok well who doesn't? my high school art teacher was a great mentor and showed me how the most basic colors can be mixed to make the most brilliant colors, that color doesn't limit it to one tone, and that you don't need a new brush for each color. i've never been able to just pick one color.. maybe you'll see all this in my projects.

ornaments! my adorable little brother sam had made the ornament you see in the top left at school and was so excited to give it to my mom when it got home. she opened it and accidentally broke it. i could tell sam was crushed (ha) so we made a new one. it was so fun! the snow men are made from his fingers. the rest are ornaments we made from pouring the paint inside and swirling it all around. 

then guess what? before there was the finished project of those cute snow men, he broke the ornament again! i remembered i had saw the idea on pinterest of putting the broken pieces of ornaments inside of another, so i did that. (top picture) but then that was too boring because all of teh pieces were blue, so i added some silver on the outside. then remember the mustache stamp from my last post? yepp. had to use that on one of my ornaments! 

i love my next project. anyone who loves color would. i just took paint and blobbed it down on a canvas. inspiration was found here and originally here. i chose two colors + white and just mixed and made my little heart happy. i did a turquiose and a purple on the first, then purple/ the left overs of the first and red on the second.

it's funny what you get when you try and mix two colors in as many different ways as possible. do try!

then the last project doesn't match.. at all. i got my idea here. i covered a palate in hexagons, but decided that was too boring so i added the word inspire on there. i traced that with hot glue, then covered that in white paint. i like it okay, but can't decide if i was to retrace "inspire" in a color. a pale yellow maybe? too tough to decide. suggestions welcome. :)

the addiction has been fed. if you have any more ideas.. please share!
