Clemson University Kitchen Table

I'm sure you know by now that I have an obsession with furniture, specifically kitchen furniture :)
A while back I got this beautiful pedestal table from Salvation Army in Clemson for $15!
I used it for about 3 or 4 sculptures and finally got around to using it for what I bought it for. I have been dying to paint a kitchen table for some one. 
I decided while I was still in Clemson I should honor my last few weeks with a Clemson themed table. 
I drew out a "map" of Clemsons campus using some of our biggest land marks. 


First I sanded the top down and then white washed it giving me a blank canvas to illustrate the top. 





I wanted to give the landmarks a twist by doing my own interpretation, I chose the Presidents House. 


Tillman Hall

Memorial Stadium

The Walker Course

 Cooper Library

The Esso Club

Lake Hartwell


Painting this table was so much fun! 
I wish it could live in my home forever but I've collected too many tables over time. Right now it is in a consignment store in Clemson but if you are interested let me know and we can work something out!!

Sorry I've been gone for a long time! I'm going to try and start posting again soon. We are starting to settle in to our new home wich means y'all are about to get a lot of new projects!! 

Clemson Scarf!

Late last night I decided to try another project with my Tee Juice markers. 
They are totally awesome and I am SO glad I got a crazy deal on Amazon :)
Yall will be seeing a lot of them from now on!!

First, I have made scarves before and I actually just completed one for an Etsy customer
 when my markers came in. 
I messed around with my markers but was going to wait until I got an order to make another scarf. 
Then I went to work and sold so many scarves that I decided I just needed to get it out there and hopefully someone would fall in love with it. 
And if not I'm wearing it to football games :)

Here are some pictures


I wanted to do something that was related to football & going back to school,
so I took the lyrics from my Alma mater (Clemson University). 

"Where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness,
Where the Tigers play,
Here the sons of dear old Clemson
Reign supreme alway."



The pictures aren't very good at all. 
But they are the best I could do at home alone with an old point and shoot.
I'm still trying to get funds to buy a DSLR... 

Anyway I love the way the scarf turned out, as much as I would love someone to purchase it 
I would be sad to see it go!
