Strum in Style.

Bedazzle (v)- to transform something from drab to fab.

Here are the pictures of the guitar in stages. Bedazzling this guitar was tedious, but then again, it was so much fun! I want to bedazzle everything now! :P 

It took me so long to finish it because for some reason, I didn't think it would take as many rhinestones as it did. I kept having to order the black ones from some Canadian. They took forever to get here every single time.



It has over 3,000 rhinestones on it!

 

I still need to get strings for it,
but it is finished.



Now, I just need to

learn to play. ;)

Just some stuff Cody, Lauren, and I have done recently.

Lauren's peacock.




Cody was inspired by the flames of our dad's motorcycle.
J is for John.




I did this.
Supposed to be the tree of life
with colorful leaves.
Looks Christmasy.

Peacock Painting GIVEAWAY!

After a two and a half month neglect, I'm coming back with a bang. And a giveaway. 


This painting is on canvas, but it is not a mounted canvas. However, my idea in having a thin canvas is so you can dress up the way you display it. I envisioned that this piece would hang on the wall and around it would hang a somewhat larger frame so the painting is within the frame, but not touching it. It would be a decoratively carved frame, thick and bulky, and I would paint it a teal blue (and maybe give it a weathered/antique look) to give it a little edge. 


Now, that is just my idea... you can do with it what you wish.

P.S. It's a peacock.

If you would like to be in the drawing, you must 1. be a subscriber of this blog and 2. leave a comment below this post telling me how you are going to (or would like to) display this painting. I will draw the winner on July 7th (a week from tomorrow).

I do get page views from countries outside of the US, but I am sorry, the winning address must be inside the US. (I will get the address of the winner when the name is drawn.)

Thank you for subscribing and entering in the contest!
