<div>
We will split up into companies of six to eight. Each company has been given weeks of challenges preparatory to the actual event. Each challenge comes with time intensive research and labor. And must be accomplished and reported by a certain deadline to comply.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few of these challenges have been:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Pick a team captain and a team name, start a private Facebook group for your team.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Create a Make and Take craft for the Saturday Market Place. You will be teaching your craft to a group of thirty. You have one hour to have this Saturday craft class finish.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br />We came up with a <b><i>Pumpkin Bar</i></b>. Pallet pumpkins would be made and brought to camp. All kinds of bedknobs, buttons, piano parts and broomsticks, you get the idea, will be attached to each crafters pumpkin after she individually paints her pumpkin. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I am delighted, and a bit taken aback when my designs were selected. </span><span style="text-align: center;">SK Sartell, Custom Artist. Work selected for Give and Take Market.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next:<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Create a social media promo advertising your team make & take using Canva or PicMonkey, Photoshop. Include- Team Name, photo(s) of your project, date & dress of the event and convey the message that $10 admission buys a whole DIY day experience.</span></div>
<div>
Learning to post Facebook updates on a schedule.<br />
<br />
Create a LIVE Facebook Video and post. This was so difficult. It's hard to look at frankly.<br />

<div class="_5pbx userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="js_202" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.38;">
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
NOTE: Remember, these challenges would come to us on a spur of the moment and have a heavy deadline...Debi is fierce, I tell ya.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The entire point is to make sure each of us campers are up to date on every valuable tool which can help us market our individual skills. Brilliant, Scheming woman. Debi is determined make us more valuable and knowledgeable by start of camp. I am so LOST. Learning curve is tough, but doable.</span><br />
<br />
As the days flash by, each new challenge forces us to step out of our little comfort bubble. AND get to know our company mates. Who each have amazing stuff to add to the mix of success.</div>

Most of the fabric was in relatively good condition. There were several worn spots and the piping was worn and ragged.<br />

The upholstery route was the easiest, yet she hesitated. It seemed her sad chair was destined for something a bit more.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The owner approached me with the hopes and curiosity of the upholstery perhaps being dyed or painted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hmmm....Let's see. Yup, I'm gonna paint this puppy. I had never painted such old and worn fabrics before, so this was going to be a treasure hunt. If I don't mess it up. Her attitude was " If we don't like it, no harm no foul:. We can just have it upholstered in the traditional way."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

Using my personal custom chalked paints, I began by painting a very light coat on damp fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I painted five coats in the same manner. Always dampening the fabric first.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Just a note: There are some projects Which can't be explained with my limited writing abilities. So I will just start. There's always a beginning. Maybe never an end though.</div>
<div>
<br />
Jo as close friend, brought me this sad little chair which had been in storage for decades. Half finished and lonely.<br />

The solid mahogany chair needed a bit of love and care. A new life or it was eventually going to the dump I'm sure. Interestingly she also had been storing a couple of yards of old fashioned pillow ticking. Why not use it to cover the chair. Inspiration is a odd thing. Sometimes it comes unbidden and other times you couldn't pay it to visit...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For an odd reason she trusts me, giving me complete freedom in painting this piece. Scary thought huh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First off, know this, I am not an upholsterer. I just dive in and make it look as good as I can. Sorry professional upholsterers...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using the ticking, I ironed pleats into parts for the front of the chair. Then upholstered the rest. The back is painted with my custom chalk paint.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Using my chalk paints and acrylics, I painted the background watercolor wet-on-wet. This works well on fabrics and watercolor paper. It just fades nicely into the background. A fun little backdrop.</span><br />

A fat quarter of fabric (left-over) <a href="http://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/search/~/3M-Super-77-Multipurpose-Adhesive?N=5002385+3293999132&rt=rud" target="_blank">3M Spray Adhesive.</a> I spray the surface, not the fabric. Once the fabric is in place, it is very difficult to re-position. Start at one side and gently pull the fabric over the glued surface, making sure there are no creases or bubbles.<br />

The left-over beaded braid was originally purple. Using chalk paint, I dyed the braid black. (Who knew you could do that?)After it had dried, I sprayed a gloss top coat so the beads would still look, well, like beads.</div>

I hot glued the braid to the underside of the shade. </div>

I printed out each of the butterflies, then flipped the image and printed them again.<br />
<br />
Using 3M spray glue, a piece of curled wire was put on the back of each butterfly. I then glued like butterflies together back-to-back. This made a small wire for their antenna and a wire to glue under the fabric rose. I bent the wings to a natural pose. This gives it a little bit of fun, not normal... I have never been accused of being NORMAL.<br />
I lover flutterbies.<br />

Sanding lightly then using my custom chalk paints. I sand in between each coat. With the final paint coat dry and sanded back and antiqued, I use a paste wax and then buff. I wax and buff three times.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>W</b></span>ith Easter just around the corner and me bored with my latest five projects, I decided to create a French Rabbit and name him Mr. Bassell.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As Mistress Borei says: (mine went a bit differently just because of size) (Mr. Bassell is just under 2 2/1 ' tall. So he needed a wire body for the sheer weight of his size.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">1. I sketched out a very basic shape of a chicken's body on the back of a piece of scrap wrapping paper and cut it out. I then traced it on the side of an old cardboard box and cut it out.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">(SK) I sketched my idea out but he just seemed to get bigger and bigger.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">I began to wrap wire around a 1" wooden dowel. I screwed 1/4"x1" wood feet to the bottom of the dowel so he would stand sturdy.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">As I wrapped the wire, I began to form his head, body and back legs. Pushing and prodding until I achieved the shape I was looking for. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">When the wire frame was complete I started to stuff him with paper.</span></span></div>

Kinda creepy if you ask me...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With Bassell stuffed and standing. I wrapped him in masking tape. Holly used white. Smart girl which she is. I had blue, so that's what I used. Not realizing the blue color would show through his thin paper skin. Duh!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Holy also used a clay to cover him. Another smart idea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">11. For extra durability, I then covered the entire project in </span><a href="http://activaproducts.com/collections/sculpture/products/1-lb-package-gray-celluclay" rel="nofollow" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Activa Celluclay </a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">and </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> allowed it to air dry. I sat him in the window and he dried in completely in about </span><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">two days.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I skipped this step. I shouldn't have.

I used Holly's paper mache recipe to begin his "skin". It's fun and messy to work with. I made sure to cover my work space, because I know I'm a much more messy person than Holly.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">4. I whipped up a batch of paper mache paste and ripped up some newspaper in strips. I then added a couple of layers of paper mache (paste-dipped) strips all over the body. I dried it in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit in between layers. Drying in the oven helps speed up the drying time of paper mache paste. Just make sure you don't "overcook" your project and check it every 15-20 minutes. You can also use a hair dryer to help speed drying time. Just make sure your project is completely dry before each new step.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: inherit;">Put 4 parts water into a pot on the stove and bring it to a boil. While you are waiting for it to boil, mix 1 part flour to 1 part warm water. Beat this mixture briskly to remove lumps. Once your pot of water is boiling, slowly stir in salt (helps to combat mold & mildew) along with water and flour mixture. Mix well and let it boil for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Mix to a gooey glue-like consistency. Add more flour and/or water as needed to achieve desired consistency. If you make more than you will use in one day, be sure to store excess in the fridge overnight. When ready for reuse, heat and add additional water to thin and smooth if necessary. </span></div>

With a lighter polka dot tissue I added a vest and the inside of his ears. With a long piece of folded paper I created his stand-up collar. When the paper was dry, I cut his vests front points. The back of his vest is pleated.</div>

Using wire to make his whiskers. I curled one end of the wire, then poked a hole through his nose and threaded the wires into place. Then cut them and curled the other side. A pretty teal striped cardstock made his bowtie. A little teal and diamond button holds his vest in it's proper place.</div>

Using Hard Rock Putty paste and a vine stencil, I added a three-D design and painted it with the <a href="http://modern%20master%20metal%20effects%20paints%2C%20copper%20and%20iron./" target="_blank">iron/rust oxizing paint.</a></div>

I screwed through the metal backs of the locker to my shiplap wall for security. When they are filled with tools and paints it is very heavy.</div>

This little headboard was on it's last leg, having been stored for many years it consisted of faux birds eye maple and tin. I start by t<span style="text-align: center;">aking the headboard apart and accessing the parts I hope I can salvage.</span><br />

The knobs are created using curtain finials and paint. I was trying to copy the porcelain knobs found at Hobby Lobby which I used on the previously finished desk and bedside table.<br />

Many layers later, I am finally getting a small resemblance to the original knob. I used several mixed colors of blue. crimson, aqua and white. I finished with four layers of polyurethane. Sanding between coats.<br />

The bed is rebuilt with fence posts, two by twelves and two by fours. I routed the top of each post. The legs are counter sunk screwed to the backboard. I added a two by four at the bottom for stability and a one by four laid flat on the top. I then used a jigsaw to cut my two by twelve into a curved top shape. I used four inch screws and countersinking them into the post I could then attach the routed curved piece to the top.</div>

I used a decorative carved leaf patterned piece of wood to cover the gaps left by the irregular warping of the old headboard.</div>
<br />
The sanding take time and effort. I do love to paint smooth wood. I can control paint effects better on smoother surfaces.<br />
<br />
The base coat is a soft French blue. Three coats with sanding between.<br />
<br />
The Fairy Graphics always have a place on fun surfaces. And this French Blue headboard is no exception.<br />

<h2>
The French Blues</h2>
This "little" project was a joy to create. The old, rickety chairs, little desk and bedside table had seen better days.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We approximated the little desk to be from the early 1900's. The bedside table was built around 1945.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most older pieces have a distinct "old" smell. After sanding the table and little desk, I set about revitalizing them a pretty French blue. The drawers was sealed and then covered in pretty paper. Each drawer side has a different paper inside and out. This make for a pretty little surprise when they are opened.</div>

I used a water based poly to glue the paper onto the wood. Then I coated each surface with a coat of poly for durability. I sanded the paper back then painted a soft coat of blue on the edges. I wiped it off leaving just enough to soften the look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="text-align: start;">The knobs had to go. I picked out pretty china blue knobs from Hobby Lobby.</span><br />

I padded the inside of the drawer"s then using tacks gave it an interesting dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All the fabrics I used in this project were Scotchguarded to help keep stains at bay.</div>

I use carbon paper as my preferred transfer method. I sand and finish the surface. After I have lightly copied the graphic, I finish by darkening and adding slight color to each drawing. I sand the finished surface slightly to antique and then use a satin polyurethane to finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The finish is coated with a white wax to finish the rest of the piece giving it a chalky white look. I then buff to a soft shine. Time consuming, but worth every minute.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The old chairs were the next challenge. My client wanted this entire set to have a very light and feminine feel.</div>
<br />
She gave me an old quilt with robin egg blue, soft yellows, reds and white chenille.<br />
<br />
The chairs needed to have leg dowels replaced and the chairs refurbished to make sturdy again. I painted them a soft French blue, very close to robin egg blue. I used my white wax to bring out the pretty convex design on the top of each chair.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PmfOKoGUpcc/U_L3f5u08KI/AAAAAAAAa9k/XHrWbMq8hnY/s1600/20140816_173727.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PmfOKoGUpcc/U_L3f5u08KI/AAAAAAAAa9k/XHrWbMq8hnY/s1600/20140816_173727.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
The old fake leather seats were removed and new under bottoms attached. I then cut a piece of wood which would fit into the hollow. I cut them a bit smaller because, I knew I would need room for the added fabric.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ew9AzCKqx1E/U_L3e6rEZiI/AAAAAAAAa9Y/qIMSPVZ7RjA/s1600/20140815_165620.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ew9AzCKqx1E/U_L3e6rEZiI/AAAAAAAAa9Y/qIMSPVZ7RjA/s1600/20140815_165620.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each chair was upholstered with the quilt fabric provided. I also made three pillows to match. A tube bolster, a rectangle and a square. Each pillow fabric needed to be re-in-forced with a under cotton to stabilize the old quilt fabric.</div>

My first go round with this cracked leather chair didn't turn out brilliantly. I could not fix or disguise the leathers multiple cracks.</div>

My decision to cover the old leather was a hard one. I so wanted to keep the old leather. Twas not to be.</div>

I will be sealing this canvas with Scotch Guard fabric protection. Waxing her is not an option because the wax isn't truly "clear". It yellows fabric a bit.</div>

Not my idea of some kind of wonderful and not pretty at all. Well at least not what I was dreaming of.</div>

Using a circular saw, we cut the top curved panel out.</div>

Using strips of thin masonite I filled the inner cut edge. I then used carpenters wood filler to caulk the gaps between the door and the masonite filler.</div>

I painted both sides a flat black chalk paint. I love damask designed paper. I turned the door over and papered the bottom panel. After it dried I sanded it back and antiqued the paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I acid etched a simple striped and damask design onto the the glass insert which will go into the upper panel cutout.</div>

The upper curve is accentuated with a 3-D damas design. I painted it black then whitewashed limed wash, which I wiped off leaving a soft old look.</div>

SK's yard sale find. $5.00 with broken legs. <span style="color: white;"> #painted upholstery#painted fabric#chalk painted upholstery</span></h3>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The fabric is in pretty good condition. The nailheads are all there. </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">The tapestry fabric had no tears, so my custom chalk paint would work great.</span><br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NDIJbtAsrec/WH9SJjZkgwI/AAAAAAABk0I/1cvznDSWqkoymq0nvtFM4U6n0ITM1yF8ACPcB/s1600/20160627_133353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NDIJbtAsrec/WH9SJjZkgwI/AAAAAAABk0I/1cvznDSWqkoymq0nvtFM4U6n0ITM1yF8ACPcB/s400/20160627_133353.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
My personal favorite chalk paint recipe is: </div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 parts flat latex paint</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 Part Calcium Carbonate, Ground white chalk</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
A couple tablespoon water</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mix till all lumps are gone</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
And I mix throughout my painting project as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I dampen the fabric with a spray bottle, and start at the top and paint downward. Very light coats. I took 3 coats to cover. I find it interesting that the tapestry fabric looks amazing as the coats of paint dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started the wood arms and legs by silver foiling.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the black stripes were dry I drew my design on with white chalk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not liking the first design, I washed the chalk design off and started again.</div>

After the final artwork was finished, I used a clear paste wax, rubbing the wax in circular motions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When the wax was dry, I started buffing. I repeated this three times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The wax made the gerber daisy appear golden and glow a bit.</div>

Even though this is what it looks like from my bedroom window, and now all my Christmas yearnings are past and the New Year is here, I have to think of Valentines. Noooooooooooo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yep. Here I go.</div>

I've never been a pallet connoisseur. They just have too many splinters for these delicate little flower hands of mine...</div>

I have seen some very amazing and talented works done from free wood pallets. So I thought I would try my hand at a few freebie loves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I painted each separate board a different valentine color and let them dry. I used a poly to preserve the old wood.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I laid the pieces next to each other and screwed a backer board across the back in two places. This secured the wood boards together.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also cut a few plywood scraps to cover the entire back of some to see the difference in durability. The plywood works best. I used wood glue and screws to attach the pieces to the plywood.</div>
<br />
I then made several size heart paper templates and cut my hearts out with a jigsaw.<br />

I hate boring lights. Oh let's admit it I hate being bored. Ever</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you might know I get bored easily. And I swear I'm not ADD...</div>

This light was slightly pretty and best of all free...So let's see if I can completely ruin it by taking it apart.</div>
