The Painter's Lady
This week’s challenge for Mixed Media Monday was to alter something metallic, use metallic paint or threads or??? I chose to use a combination of metallic paints, metal gee-gahs (wordpress and I are not sure how to spell that word) and metallic trims.
I had rescued this old paintbrush from the trash a few years ago when we had painted the inside of the house. I thought that I would be able to use it someday, somehow. Well here it is as a body for a doll, the brush and her arms (made from wooden spoons) are painted with acrylic and metallic paints. Her body is wrapped in metallic trims and adorned with metal parts and flowers.
This challenge was a great deal of fun, stop by and check out all of the talented people who participate.
Enjoy, Christen

Well, she is just too adorable for words! And you are so creative to think of using a paintbrush as a doll form. I might just have to give this a try myself.
Oh, your lady is wonderful. It’s both whimsical and beautiful.
Well she ought to be able to give unwelcome suitors the brush! This is so original, unique and just plain FUN! Good work!
Wow, Christen – this is wonderful! So clever and creative – love her! Diane
