Painter Gilli is in the House

Happy Thursday to You!!!  House of Gilli Challenge #19 ~ Recycle and Texture ~  Come join us over at the House  for our exciting challenges!  This was a very fun challenge for me ~ thank you Wini!  I thought of this wooden box when thinking about recycling.  It was pushed way back on a shelf and was covered in dust.  The base was painted a colonial blue and  the lid stenciled, made during my country-style crafting phase.

I colored Painter Gilli with Copics, and my die cuts were made using my paper scrap bin.  My texture is the paint; it's hard to see in the pic, but the paint is really thick. I spattered the paint on the lid with paint stir sticks (saw a man on youtube apply it this way) and some fine spatters with a toothbrush.  I'd recommend everyone give the *Jackson Pollock* inspired paint spattering a try, it's a thrill to create. If you'd like to order an adorable Gilli stamp please email the artist anaRy at:  anary@anary.com   Thanks so much for visiting and I would love to see your creations, come join in the fun!
