That's How I Roll

 

I'd been wanting to try  decorating a roller shade using acrylic paint. The design would show only from the outside.  I consulted YouTube to watch several videos of a simple sunflower. One thing I did learn is that you can't mix the methods of different painters. I liked this one best by  DIY Crafty Creator

I wasn't expecting the calming glow from inside the bathroom, but I like it. And yet no one can see inside, even at night. ( I know because I tested it.😊)

Very pleased with the results.  

But, Wait There's More!

This is my back door.  I wanted a tree for this one. Consulted YouTube again. Settled on  Jay Lee Painting. Seems simple enough.

I am pleased with this result also.

I'll let you in on a secret. I couldn't get either shade to roll properly 😯but, I'll consult YouTube again and if that doesn't work out, I have another method in mind.  Still, I'm okay with the turn out.

That's it***

Wall Grouping - update

Do you  remember this?   

It's from a previous post,  Wall Grouping, that I did on 10/31/2020.

I'd had my bedroom freshly painted and wanted some type of wall decoration to accompany the picture of the bike I'd bought. I made a faux flower container from a place mat and the hybrid plate  from

 an old plate I had already.  Downloaded pictures from the NET were used to  decoupage onto the plate.

A couple of nights ago I was awakened by a loud thump in my bedroom.  For some strange reason, it didn't frighten me. I turned on the light, looked around the room but saw nothing. As I was returning from the bathroom, that's when I saw that the plate above my bed had fallen.

The Command Hook that was the correct size and weight for the plate didn't hold up. I'm glad it didn't fall on my head and instead behind the headboard. What you're seeing on the back of the plate are strips of duct tape I placed over the hanger after I'd used E-6000 to glue it on back when I made it.   

I don't plan to make another one. Honestly, I was planning to take it down anyway.  I enjoyed making it.  Purpose served. 

That's it*** 

TWO (2) Ingredient Cake

 

  In the upper left hand corner type in➝ Beetnik chocolate cake ( the link isn't working 😠) edited 10:52; 3-12-21

Here's the chart of combinations taken from  ALLRECIPES.com. 

Here a Chickpea, there a Chickpea

 Will they taste similar to roasted peanuts?😲

I didn't like the outcome. They were harder than peanuts. I won't be using this recipe again.
