Em's Painted striped shoes

I painted some more shoes for myself!! I am starting to really like doing this.. I got inspiration for the colours from a pair of Bella Costa shoes that I liked.. I mixed the colours myself using primary colours.

Em's Moroccan Lanterns

I had a go at hand painting some old jars with purple glass paint and then used 3D paint gold paint. 
I got inspiration from, Moroccan-inspired lanterns by LITdecor on Etsy. It was hard to make it really neat.

Em's Mosaic Pot #1


 
I have finally done some mosaic-ing. I have wanted to mosaic something for a while and with the help of my mother-in-law I was shown how to mosaic one of my pots I have been saving for just that.. You definitely need lots of patience but the results are very satisfying. I absolutely have more respect for mosaic now! But I have a bit of a bug and can't wait to get onto my other pot! I wanted a seaside type theme, so brainstormed for inspiration on Pinterest and using plates I collected from Op Shops and tiles created four different sides with a blue/green/yellow theme. I'm very happy with the outcome. I love the starfish the best with yummy lapidary rocks in it. But all sides work well.
