It's been a really long while after my last post .. So many times were My fingers tempted to tap on the button that says " new blog post" .. But the demons named " busy weekends" , " tired mind" , "work pressure" pulled them back everytime :) . Now on an unnaturally quiet Sunday ( seems like someone has pressed a mute button on our neighborhood) arrived my magic mail --- a gold sharpie from Amazon.. ( Getting shipments from amazon can surely get a place in my how-to-be-happy list but that is some other day's discussion).
As you know ,I am a creative hoarder( I HAD to put a nice adjective to support this apaarently annoying trait of mine). I love love love refurbishing stuff rather than throwing them away..
Recently I grew so fond of gold .. A month back, I went to this cellphone store & surprisingly I had a hard time choosing between the gold and a grey version of the phone ( more suprisingly, the gold version won to my all time favorite grey). An array of shops displaying gold jwelry stands on the street we go for grocery. Usually they all went unnoticed in past but not any more. I look at them like a kid at an icecream store.. :)
Now coming to what it ended up at :)
Here is how I refurbished my apparently dull ikea bud vase with gold polka dots
You need
a gold sharpie ( mine says elmers opaque gold paint marker),
Anything to paint on .
I had an old table lamp base which I have been using as a vase , but it was too dull for the room . So I tried my first warli painting on it to give it some life .. Isn't it cool? Warli painting is an Indian folk painting style that I recently grew very fond of . It is easy for a dabbler like me and has a charm of its own ..
