ditching one task for another...

story of my life! but this task is a money making thing (HOPEFULLY). so this is my idea. i love mermaids right..... so i thought i could paint a mermaid on a bar stool!!! here's my progress so far.


1. so i got my raw pine stool from the big shed. after looking everywhere i could think of in geelong and asking everyone i thought might knew, it seemed that getting a stool from the big shed was the best option. you know you can get more if you need them, they're made well and they were cheap. it was good because i even managed to bargain with the man for it and got it for cheaper!! woooo!!!

2. i went to bunnings to get paint. so i looked at all the colour cards, you know the ones. and i got this nice blue colour, called water raceway. so i got a sample pot of that. that was pretty cheap too. cheaper then at the art shop, getting several bottles of acrylic paint.
4. BEGIN PAINTING!!!

5. layers!!! so the first layer is done. i'll keep u posted when more progress has been made!!!!!
