With so much to do,
Gathering class approaching,
yard work in abundance...
Who in their right mind would sit
and paint silver the bottoms of wee little acorns for hours
because they required several coats?
What crazy ass person would DO THAT?
Oh yeah, duh.... mwah.
If I am this crazy when kissing 60,
what will I be like pushing 70?
Don't answer that.
The same "nut ball" (hehe) who painted and sold dozens
of these boxes many years ago.
Now that I see them again, I am tempted to try my hand at some new color ways, or should I say "lack" of color ways?
My All Hallows Eve Gathering is in 11 days.
Cannot wait to play and create with good friends. If I don't get back to work and get ready, my friends may turn to ghouls and goblins.
SHRIEK!

I think that it's great what you do Z and, I am sure that you will be doing the same when you are well over 100 !!!!
It is all looking great and, I'm sure that you have got some other beautifulmthings up your sleeve !
You are so busy! I love the silver acorns and so glad you did them to share....This way, I don't have to do any, just stop by and look at yours!
Hugs from here my friend

I salute your nuttiness Z. Love those silver acorns!
I hope your crazy ass was, at least, watching a movie while you painted all those damned acorns...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa JAMES FRANCO movie, perhaps?! (You've been outed, Z - muahahahaha!) Us and our men...craziness abounds! These are delightful! Hope you didn't get any on your hands - have a wonderful Wednesday...XO Tanya
I like crazy ass people that do this! The boxes look wonderful!!
But they are splendid you lovable nut. No pun I swear.
CraZy? LOL They did come out great though:) What are you going to do with them? Don't tell me that now you are going to put little holes into them and string them. Now THATS crazy. lol

You may be a bit crazy...but we all are and those came out great! Love those boxes too!
I love it Z! Both the insanity, and your beautiful creations!!

I love your silver acorns! What are you going to do with them? Clever idea! What about painting some skeleton leaves silver too? And pinecones and milkweed pods and....OK, I'll go home now! I'm encouraging you! LOL!
I'm so glad I found your blog!

The acorns are adorable and only a nutcase would think they weren't. So bring on seventy (but not too fast!)!!
Your gals are going to have a blast which brings me to a colourway suggestion of my own..."Envy Green"...
Hey nutball! I LOVE your cute little boxes. And if it means anything...I love the acorns with that yummy silver on their little bottoms. Looks like something to do while sitting watching a a good movie. I have been harvesting lavender from the stem for so many nights in front of TV I don't even want count. I still have many more to go...so I'll be thinking of you painting those acorns.
sending love...
Too funny! I swear when I have something huge coming up, the closer it gets the crazier I get! I would be sitting right there with you painting acorns and then coming up with new projects for us to do that have nothing to do with Gatherings! I am telling you now that I would be a terrible influence on you. bad. I love the silver acorns and can't wait to see your new boxes! t. xoxoxox
Oh....I love nutty crazy - and I LOVE me these boxes and silvery acorns!! (Does that little "trick or treat" box in the lower right of the last photo have my name on it anywhere??) Smiles & Silvery Hugs ~ Robin
Love the silver acorns but I don't think I would like sitting there painting all of them... good luck! It sounds fun
Blessings

That is why EVERYTHING you do is so gorgeous, you pay so much attention to details! You do what you love and it shows!
LOVE the little silver acorns. They are so lovely ! I require at least 8 hours of sleep, so, I can't find any extra fun time. Oh, I enjoy everything that i do, but there is SO much more that I want to do, like paint acorns :-) I envy that you can stay up and play all night :-)
Love everything that you do, Z !
Enjoy :-)
wow....you are in the halloween spirit.
and you are not a nut at all. i think painting things like those acorns is very therapeutic !!!
what i think instead is "i hope i'm just like her when i'm 60"
I like your silver acorns...you know I bought some felted ones last year that I adore...can't find them now. I need you!!
Now that is a good kind of crazy!
Those boxes are wonderful and can't wait to see this years version!
I love those and don't think you're "nuts" at all! What type of paint should you use? Not that I'm thinking about doing this myself, no, now that would be crazy! But seriously, I'm kinda new to this and don't know what kind of paint to use to paint acorns! TIA!
