Pictures!!!
Oct. 3rd, 2005 09:05 amI did a lot of painting this weekend, among other things. Here's some pictures to tease you:
I hated what I had originally done to this poor wheel. Now, she looks lovely, and I plan on hauling her around with me instead of the Joy.
To see what she looked like before, go here. She's the first one on the page.
Remember the Rambo wool I dyed last week? Here it is, all carded up and ready to be blended!
I've since blended them up into 3 different colorways...I'll do the fourth this week. 4 different yarns from the same wool...pretty cool!
The Fugly white dresser - before
and After I wielded the magic paintbrush of taste.
More pictures of the dresser, and a quick "how-to" of the top, can be found here, at the bottom of the page.
So, that was my weekend in a nutshell!

I had found one for $25...but I couldn't find the website again when I went back. Bad Me for not bookmarking it. *sigh*
