Let's join Bentley. my Studio Assistant, and look for the last of the pink Roses to paint on my polka dot Welles. I bought them several years ago on sale at the end of the season at Joanne's Fabric and wanted to paint roses on them.
I saw some adorable Welles that someone purchased from Joanne's this year with pink Roses and got the idea to paint roses on my polka dot ones - this year my goal has been to use what I already have and
re purpose - reuse and recycle.
"It's not what you don't have - but what you do with what you do have."
The pink Roses are calling to me and I know that they will not last much longer.
Time to start painting!
I was not sure if the paint would stick on the rubber boots so I sketched a few roses with acrylic paint and let it dry. The paint dried nicely and I painted both boots.
I really liked the way my Welles turned out and now I have a new - re purposed pair of boots to wear in the garden.
I am linking up with PINK SATURDAY at www.howsweetthesound.typepad.com. Please visit Pink Saturday to visit lots of fun blog posts featuring pink.
Dear Readers, Thank you for stopping by. I sincerely appreciate your visits, comments, e-mails and those who follow my blog. I still want to paint a Fall welcome sign with you by the end of September - it is hard for me to get into Fall decorating with it so hot here - we will paint together - soon.
"If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me." Psalm 139:9-10.
Those are the prettiest pair of welles I have ever seen!

ReplyDeleteWhen I hop onto a Pink Saturday post when I'm not doing Pink Saturday,I miss everyone so much. You have a great pink post. Love the boots. I liked seeing the development of the roses - layers of how you see them. Really neat.
ReplyDeleteOh, and you just have to give Bentley an bunch of love from me. I love how you include her in the posts. I get to say hey to you and Bentley.
Love the painting of your brushes and roses too and the photo of rose and your hat
We're still quite warm here too. Have had some rain - which we are thankful to have. It closed up some of the cracks in the ground. We're hoping for more rain. It kind of looked like fall yesterday -everything all wet with rain and the dead brown stuff everywhere.
Enjoy your roses and climate!
Oh, you did a fabulous job, redoing your wellies, I love them!! Thanks for sharing. Happy Pink Saturday!! ~Lorraine ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you painted those pink roses on your boots! You did an amazing job! Your roses are still blooming beautifully. I think I saw the last of mine a week ago, but ya never know if they will pop up again. I really loved your boots - I'm a polka dot girl too.
