DIY Your Own Tea Cup Candle Holder...

The Tea Cup Candle Holder is the quickest DIY ever.

It takes just five minutes to put together.

And after 24 hours glue drying time is ready to use or gift!

Take one pretty teacup...
I used a Maxwell and Williams cup and saucer set,
from Farmers purchased for $7.50 at half price. 
But you can use vintage cups and saucers matched or mismatched for a more delicate pretty look.

 You'll also need a ball candle.
This one was just $2 from Briscoes sale.

 Using a ceramic or bonds anything glue,
put a large dollop on the base of the cup.

Centre the saucer onto the upturned cup and glue. 

 Leave 24 hours for glue to dry.
Then place the ball candle on the saucer.

 How quirky is that?
Plus that saucer catches all the wax drips.

Light and enjoy 

or

gift to someone else.

Easy Decor Flower Bowl...

Don't you just love  fresh flowers in the home decor?

Flowers, flowers everywhere - 

that's my motto.

And the easiest way to put a pop of flowers into the decor is by creating a bowl of floating flowers.

Just use flower heads with a short stem.
Out of the garden today I have picked:
Roses, and dahlias.

Simply put a little water into bowl 
and then place the flower heads as desired.


SO SO PRETTY...
And SO SO EASY!

Decor flower bowls are fabulous for on coffee tables, sideboards,
or on the dining table as a simple floral centrepiece....

and that is exactly where I have placed this one!

What's Been Happening In The Art Studio?

What's been happening?

AQUA has been happening that's what!

From a random squirt of too much oil paint from the tube,

to three pieces of gorgeousness.

This series of paintings may yet become four!

But here is a peek at the three completed works.
