So today's adventure I roped her in on was re doing the show demonstration stands.
For the last 4 yrs they have been covered in Blonde Moments papers, and I thought I would like to paint them in my own imitable style.
I spent most of Friday night stripping them down, which was not a job for the faint hearted..!! So after a good sand from Su, this is what we started with.
I primed them whilst Su.......err drank tea......!!!
And then I painted them whilst Su.....drank tea...!!!!
Actually she was making tea, washing up, drying the stands and eating lollies, lol.I then drew the designs on.
And we based them out in white. Now Su has never done anything like this before and was really nervous, but I had faith in her and just guided her along the way, step by step.
Now the fun begins. Adding the colours.
Essential supplies....
Think she needs a bit of a sugar rush...Actually that was her fee for the day..!!!
This is my stand, with basic design added.
Su,s favourite bit was painting the spots.
The shading is what takes the time but it makes everything come alive.
Now its time for the details. The outlining and snow.
And that's my one finished. This is Su,s before I added the finishing touches. Didn't she do a fab job once she lost her nerves...???
And here they are in all their glory. How gorgeous do they look...?
Here we are, after pulling a 12 hour shift, tired but happy.
We had a fabby day, Su is so proud of herself and so she should be, because on a large uptight surface its actually loads harder than I make it look....
Enjoy xx

Just how fab do these look.
A very good job well done. And yes painting on an upright surface is far more difficult to do, especially when you get near the floor, the worst bit by far unless you are a contortionist, lol
Luv dee xxx
These are fabby!! Very festive and funky love them :)

You are really getting me in the festive mood. I can't wait.
I might even start making my cards tonight.
You know what would really look nice on those cards.........?????
Yes you guessed it. Some of that lovely paper you were teasing us with. Any news yet??? lol :-)
I know I know I'm a pest.
But I am lovable, HONESTLY!!!!!

I totally agree how fab they look -and they are even better in real life.
My body aches -I can recommend Dy's paint teaching but not 12 hours on the studio floor... although I'd do it again any day ;o)
Dy did good, i just did good at following instructions and eating lollies.
Have decided to make my A-Z album of this summer holidays - except there isnt enough room under 'C' for all the Christmas stuff - never thought I'd say that about 2 weeks off in August X x x
woop woop, I can't wait to see it in real life when I come up to the show in a couple of weeks. Lookin good ladies. Emma xx
