Marbling
.
I LOVE to dumpster dive. It all started when I was at University. In Theatre “borrowing” and garbage hunting were ways we created our sets and stayed on budget. This is how I fell in love with painting in the first place. Taking one item and making it either look worn or making something worn look new. Heck, even making look like it was from another universe….It still put this to practice almost every time I work on a project. Although now a days its more making “worn’ look new!
Wow it is tangent blogging today:
Ok Back to marbling!
In Woodbridge we have several places you can purchase marble for just about anything. This means there are dumpsters in the back of these beautiful places where one, such as I, can pick and choose real marble pieces to copy and create and practice veining and layering and playing and creating…
I have an addiction. My husband just cleaned out the garage and snuck three buckets of perfectly good marble away…Tee Hee – back to the dumpsters for me…shhhhhh…don’t tell Vic!
Love Barb
P.S. You will need gloves, a rag or two sturdy buckets and permission from the front of the store. Be prepared for weird looks!
