I had a lot of fun painting these wooden bangles one evening recently, getting paint everywhere including my hair, and making a general mess. I found the natural wood bangles in a box at my local Spotlight shop (I think I bought the last 2 boxes sorry), sanded them a little, and used a thick coating of acrylic paint to cover. The white one with blue stripes was inspired by my longstanding love of blue stripes, as well as this ceramic set found on Pinterest.
I've always had a love for folk-style flowers on dark backgrounds, a bit like this painting, and my Vita fabric design in dark grey. But then a few days ago I followed a link on Emma's blog to this simply amazing collection of colour photographs from early 1900s Russia. There are so many reasons to love these photos, they are completely transporting and fascinating, but I especially loved looking at the clothing worn by some of the women in the pictures. That's how I was inspired to paint the floral bangles.
Wishing you a happy weekend. See you on Monday.
