Painting the Town Black

Assemblage shadow box featuring the words future happy princes

Kathy's shadow box from our class looks fabulous.

Today, she just needed to glue on the CO2 cannister and paint the background. I offered to do the black base coat on the background before she did the interference colors because...well, I like to paint things black. I really, really do.

So, while she logged into work and got some things done, I painted the textured background (or, as I just typed it, blackground) and set it out to dry. When she took a break, it was dry and ready for her to do the artistic coat.

She asked if I'd want to paint other things black. OF COURSE! You want it black? I'm your GAL. By the end of next month, it's possible that every formerly unpainted item in the house will be black. 

Let's get a closer look at Kathy's fabulous shadow box -- unlike mine, hers is lighted!

Ooo, okay, now I'm torn.. This skeleton shadowbox is also very very awesome! It's great that they offer fun classes like that where you live. Out here in Alabama the fun art classes are sadly lacking.. Every now and then the museum will offer a class, but nothing this awesome! Many kudos to you both :D
