These are my own TOMS that I handpainted myself over my Christmas break. I had NO clue what they would turn out as, but I am incredibly pleased with these!!

No sitting, standing, loitering, ball playing in front of this building by order of police department.
The background is the Mackenzie tartan, as Dougal is named after the character Dougal MacKenzie from Outlander.
Spotted this little beauty in a pot in front of a restaurant in downtown Manteo, NC, it really looks like someone painted it with watercolors. If I had a country this would be my flag!
This is an actual goose egg, handpainted by me. It was cut in half and a hinge was added. I love this but I'm not sure what a box such as this could be used for. Any ideas?

McMenamins Elks Temple
Tacoma, Washington
Trippin' around Tacoma this morning I happed upon McMenamins Elks Temple with these colorful handpainted globes all along the different railings around the building.
My first attempt at painting pullip eyes myself! It was fun to do and I'm happy with the result. Now Iris and Dahlia are getting new eyes! ; D
This was almost going to be my choice but the yellow beckoned me and after all I don’t want the snow gods to think I’d like snowflakes!!
The #MacroMondays theme for 1/1/24 is “new”. This year my dear SIL painted snowflake gift tags and I added this one to our tree because it’s perfect— does she know me or what? In the photostream is a context shot and also a size verification picture. (It’s just 2 inches square.)
One surprising thing that one will find on close inspection is that most locomotives and coaches in India are handpainted. This of course allows for lots of creativity like these digital numbers on the side of this BRC WAG-5P.
... I painted lots of peepers!
I have quite the urge to start customizing Blythe dolls, but, before making the leap to ripping apart a $100 doll, I've decided to start learning the skills piecemeal. When I was learning to draw and paint in art school, one of my favorite activities was drawing eyes. (Well, that and drawing hands in the "Live Long & Prosper" gesture or a gesture of my own invention, "Die Short & Fail.")
When I realized that creating eyechips for Blythe meant I could spend hours focused only on painting irises, I knew I had to give it a shot. Diagnosis: I like it even more than I thought I would! So much so, in fact, that I didn't study a lick for the final I had on Monday (which, coincidentally, was my very last final, meaning I'm now done with school). I'm now out of blank eyechips and can hardly wait to order more.
I'd love to encourage more people to take up this hobby, and so, as there isn't much information on this process available, I'll try to create a tutorial in the future.
The next piece of the customization puzzle I plan to attack is rerooting Blythe scalps with natural fibers. Since I love to dye wool to spin yarn, I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy dying Blythe hair just as much. I'm off to the Black Sheep Gathering next Sunday to search out local mohair and alpaca vendors. Wish me luck, though. I'm a bit nervous I'll return to Portland with a cria.
These look a bit pinker in person, but didn't turn out exactly how I expected. Let me know how you like them as I can do them again.
