Giggles.....

I think that this just might end up as a really big art piece for my living room. All of these photos that I am altering are turning out really nicely!!

Ordinarily these would be reject type of pictures because of the backgrounds. The people look really nice but then you see the print and say "yuck!" to the background. Or the Pepsi bottle on the table and the candy wrappers on the floor (Christmas morning) or the great picture of my daughter and me at her first baseball game with the really cranky guy in the background of every picture. How can someone be that cranky through an entire ball game that our team won?

But this sanding and painting technique is great for getting rid of all of that. I'd show the before on the baseball game pic but I don't know the guy and you can see him too clearly and I haven't got permission to publish his face so.....

....of course I guess I could show a before with his face obscured so you can see how prominent he was in EVERY SINGLE PICTURE. lol

See that big blurry spot by my face? Yeah, crabby guy. The whole game. You gotta wonder how bad life must be for some people when they can't even enjoy the home team winning. Sure it was a super cold night but....we won the game! lol

Anyway, this is great for getting rid of messy living rooms on Christmas morning too:

See all of that painted space? The Christmas morning carnage is now hidden and ready for art making. This is so much fun! I can't wait to see how this turns out!
