Ten Commandments Coloring Pages - #2


Hello.

Today I am posting the 2nd of the Ten Commandments from the verses in Exodus 20.

These verses were long,
so I made several pages to break them up.

You are free to use these for your children or Sunday school classes or such,
but please don't use them for resale.

I plan to have a coloring contest using these in the next couple weeks,
so I am hoping some kids will join in for that and have some fun coloring these.

I also made colorized versions of these with my Copic markers for anybody who wants them already done.


Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.

Vintage Image: Ships in a Stormy Sea


The end of July through August, I have three nephews with birthdays.

As I rummaged through my cards looking for boy cards,
I found that I have a sad selection.

So this week, for my vintage image, I am posting something that can be used for the boys and men in our lives.



I found this great illustration in an old book from the late 1800's.

Here is a cleaned up black and white version.

 and here is an antiqued version.


 I also colored in one of the antiqued versions with my Copic markers.



and one final image I cleaned up and intensified on the computer.

After I spray painted an old pail I found at a yard sale, I used the colored version to add to it
to make a trash pail for my son's room.




 It sits beside the piece of furniture that I painted a little while back.
My husband ripped off the ugly laminate top of the base
and replaced it with old wood he found in the barn.
I also made new knobs for it from clay.




 I used Modge Podge to apply the printed image of the ships
and then on top of it.
(I have found if you apply Modge Podge in just a few strokes,
you can use it on printed paper without it running).


I love old images and the fun variety they can add to simple things.

Feel free to use this seascape for your own projects as it's age makes it
not under copyright.


Thanks for stopping by.

Repurposing a Lamp with Paint.


The weekend is here, so I'll share another fun and useful craft.

If you have an old lamp you are not fond of, an easy way to alter it is to paint it.
I mix up some Plaster-of-Paris into a cup of base-coat color paint til I get the thickness/consistency I desire, and it seems to stick pretty well to any surface.
For this piece, I swirled the paint/plaster so it looked rough, like waves.

(I hope to make a "tools/recipe/helpful tips" page here soon,
and will give more precise instructions for the mixture then).

Once the base-coat is dried, I then paint the images or scene.


This lamp came from a charity type yard sale to help a little girl with a debilitating disease,
so it seemed an even more worthwhile decision to purchase the lamp for repurposing.


My Kindergartener son has had a thing for Jonah and the whale this past year,
so for Christmas, I painted the lamp for his bedroom.


I used a permanent ink and calligraphy pen to add the verse after the scene was painted and dried.





I practiced the writing on paper a few times first.
I liked this verse as it could be something that might help him someday.

 



That is supposed to be Jonah sinking in the sea,
with a shark off to the right for my son's benefit
since he loves all "dangerous" sea creatures at this point.



His other favorite, the squid, made it on the back side of the lamp.







It is a small thing, really, just a little paint on a lamp,
inexpensive and using something to "recycle" it,
but seeing how much he loves this sort of thing, made it worth it.


Have a fantastic weekend and if you get a chance,
pick up a paintbrush and capture something beautiful around you.
