I know the next feew things aren't stamp related but I didn't want to start another blog for my other arts. This is a vase thingy I bought at Michaels marked down to $4. It was red and gold and hideous. I sanded it down a tad, added some "pine spruce" scylic paint (it's a little more green in person ), painted black on top and rub some of the black off.It sits in the bathroom now looking very pretty.
