    First I just wanted to let you know that I believe that tray is for a cheeseball. It would've had a glass dome that went over the middle circle, when it was new. Anyway, this piece is really striking! I don't want to show this to my sister, who loves moths, because she would probably make me create something similar to hang in her new house...lol

      Yes, that’s what it’s for!! The channel around the outside is for the crackers!

      @@MiraByler it's definitely for a cheeseball. Dome in the center and the crackers would have gone around the outside. VERY 70s. My parents had one.

    The last.thing I painted was a purple dahlia for my friend in the hospital. I like the moth, the dark background reminds me of those specimen cases. I think making your own art for your home is great. It's more meaningful and you can really make things to your own taste.

  • @mommabodsalwaysright4509

  • @melanie990
    @melanie990 5 месяцев назад

    That is GORGEOUS ❤❤
    I bet something written in that bronze paint above the center would look cute too! Something like Family, Wonder, Love.
    I'd REALLY love to see you make something with your words you so often remind us with, to have grace with ourselves. I've heard you say that in my mind many times when i start thinking something i made isn't good enough.
    Thank you for everything, you are a wonderful, genuine person ❤❤

    I love looking for used frames. Sometimes I LIKE the grungy ones. However, some sandpaper and spray paint is a fast way to get a clean look. I also like the frames with glass. However, I like a bit larger frames because I LOVE using mats. I have my own mat-cutting system, so no worry if the frame is an odd size. Keep thrifting!

  • @createwithbarbbl4125
    @createwithbarbbl4125 5 месяцев назад

    I think your tray once had a glass dome in the centre. Your artwork is stunning and a wonderful transformation for this piece of art. I would love it in many places in my own home, so I'm sure you are delighted with it too. The copper edges really lift the piece.

    Love what you did with that tray. Definitely looks like it should be hung in a fancy study or library.

  • @JayofallTrades
    @JayofallTrades Год назад

    I really like the simplicity of the moth against the dark background and the copper accents makes it look really antique. Its almost like it could have been hanging in an old mansion or on a table with glasses around the edge of it and the bottle of whiskey or gin in the center. Although the tray is actually a teak wood charcuterie board so more for cheeses, crackers, and meats ect. It had a glass cloche with it as well.
    CotD: I actually painted a multimedia portrait of a friend's dog as a gift.

    I only chose this vid BECAUSE I saw the one where you came back from the thrift store with it. I immediately thought of sand-papering it and filling the outer circle with macramee, and making a cat silhouette for the center raised circle...
    I was very curious to see what would you paint on it. glam and moody is original. it absolutely came up awesome! I would say it's definitely anthropologie worthy 🤭

  • @sunsetcolored259
    @sunsetcolored259 Год назад

    Oh man, this is super pretty!! I really love the style you went for with it. Your color choices was great, and you definitely pulled off the illustrative style you were going for with the moth. At the end when you were showing it off, something about it was giving the moth a bit of a 3D effect which I think is really cool. I'm guessing it was something about the mix of matte and gloss finishes.
    And to answer the question: Rocks! I'm currently painting rocks, actually. They're for the Kindness Rocks project (hiding painted rocks around in public for people to find). It started in 2017 iirc and has died off a little now, but I've kept on doing it because it's so fun.

    Moths have been a big phobia (Lepidopterophobia) of mine all my life, and I mean screaming, running, crying and shutting myself in wardrobes phobic. I can't even see one on television or in a book without getting a physical fear response. I definitely had to miss some of your earlier moth videos 😨
    Now I kind of want to paint one myself! 😮 I still can't look at references of real moths so I'm not sure if it will ever actually happen, but I do now see beauty in your paintings of them . I think this one is my favourite so far ❣Thank you!
