I simply love this idea. I admit that when Emily from Once Wed stopped by to pick up a few things from my studio, I was surprised that she wanted my manky old brush cup. She saw the beauty of it. What a great example of how smart she is! (Her adorable photographer was with her, but I don't remember her name, just that she was the cutes preggers lady ever!)
"The glass Michelle uses to clean her brushes inspired us to paint the insides of these votives for some colorful candlelight. They couldn’t be easier to make. Pick up a case of glass votives from your nearest floral wholesaler or local Target. Scribble watery paint on the inside of clear glass candleholders and don’t try too hard…if you mess with them too much you’ll just make brown. If you’re having a hard time with this project you may need some more wine to help you loosen up. ;) When they’re dry, plunk in a votive. Done!"
What a great idea for a wedding! You could have little paintings for everyone, or for your table numbers, could use some abstract decoration on your place cards...Why didn't I think of this for my wedding? Jeeze

What a ridiculously good idea. The simplest are the best, no?
ReplyDeleteGet the F outa here!! Those are actually very-very pretty. If you'd have described this to me without the photo I would been all " stfu Michelle- you're drunk again aren't you?" And they're super cute next to your painting. So cool!

ReplyDeleteUmmmm....this is just my two cents, but have you ever thought about designing fabrics at Spoonflower? I would absolutely KILL for a cotton voile in one of your colorful jumbles, and I would make a dress out of it and then just die happy. You are so unbelievably gifted!
