Do It Again

Many of these are spot on! Especially #13 😂 I must admit though for #6 I have more IOD - Iron Orchid Designs transfers and inlays over stencils (although I do have a drawer just for those too!)

HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFY A FURNITURE ARTIST.
Although honestly… it’s not difficult.

1.We are a happy bunch.

2. Paint on their hands and completely unbothered by it.

3. A brush soaking in water since 2024.

4. Several pieces “waiting to be finished.”

5. Saying “trust the process” while internally panicking.

6. A cupboard full of stencils they “definitely needed.”

7. A deep love of old things… and I don’t mean Marty.

8. An inability to throw anything away “just in case.”

9. The only person at the party desperate to discuss paint colours.

10. They have openly admitted to dipping their paintbrush in their tea and still drinking it. Worse still… I once drank the paint water. I was extra thirsty.

11. Running to the loo because they needed a p*e three hours ago, but were too hyper-focused and in their happy place to notice.

12. Not particularly wealthy… but ridiculously happy.

13. Photographing random textures, doors, tiles, and p*eling walls “for inspiration”… which will absolutely never be used later.

14. Buying the same supplies twice because they forgot they already bought them.

15. Family and loved ones quietly fearing for their creative relative’s faculties.

16. Everything they own has paint on it. Even the “good clothes.”Who here has turned up to a special occasion wearing accidental Eau de Capri pink Chalk Paint?

Do you recognise yourself… or a creative friend? Which numbers?

What would you add to the list?

Our little carrots from the IOD - Iron Orchid Designs spring basket contest were also made from the Spring Garden Mould.
I placed 2 moulded carrots back to back and glued when wet with Titebond quick and thick. I also added some marks along the sides like the front. You can hide the line where they meet after it dries with more air dry clay. I used IOD air dry clay.
After 1 day I poked a hole at the top to make room to glue the greenery. These will take 2 days to fully dry.
Paint after they are dry, I used orange paint and antiquing wax. The greenery was glued in with Titebond quick and thick. I purchased the greenery from a plant at The Restore!
The jar is a glass jar from mushrooms (🤢 hubby ate them lol) painted with chalk paint and used paint inlay from Spring Melody. Small letter stamps were used to spell Carrot Patch and twine glued around the top. It was fun to do 😁
