artwork, photos, Valentine card made...

Any week that includes art is a great week! I set up a small table in the tv room so I could work and still watch the hockey games with dh - and pulled out some paints (especially metallic) and got to work on decorating a recycled almond can. I had to use a pair of pliers to push down the sharp flange around the edge. Then I painted the entire can antique gold; the closest color to its "natural" color. Over that I put a layer of green mixed with silver, then i began dabbing purple, then layered dabs of silver over that.
