Mustard Yellow!!!

While in this picture it very much looks like gold,  I nevertheless got some mustard yellow paint--booyah!  (Disclaimer: I would not advise consuming actual mustard at any point--ever.  Very toxic.  Very disgusting.  Very yellow.)  I've been wanting to justify buying more paint, and a customer's request settled it.  I kinda want to go paint everything yellow now.  How utterly pleasing.

PS- This little number is distressed with a medium chestnut under the yellow. 

Pine Plus Polymer Pandemonium

Ah, texture.  I'm a big fan.  So I slapped some polymer on this wooden name cutout and Danish oiled the exposed wood.  I'm always a little sad to paint or otherwise cover the wood, since I think wood grain is art in and of itself (go God), so this is a happy medium.  Pine & polymer, salt & pepper, me & mini Reese's... the list goes on.

Korver is my awesome neighborfriend's son.  So this one was for him.  While I don't think it's HORRIBLE to not have the middle of the O and R's cut out, I'm pretty happy that my new scroll saw can make inside cuts with ease.  Perhaps I should consider a career in Dewalt sales...

So then, I was like, "I think this is cool, maybe other people would, too..." So this became my first Etsy listing.  It's super hard though to narrow down the -here's what poly clay finishes are available- when there are virtually endless possibilities.  So I'm working on a good way to convey that in just a couple pictures and pull-down options.  Too many options hurt my brain...
