Swirl Painting

Saw a similar painting on the "Steven and Chris" design show based in Toronto, Canada. The original was placed on a table and used as a prop - never featured on the show. It always caught my eye so I decided to paint my own version. Now, I just need to make a frame for it.

Cotton Twine Box

Watching "Racheal Ray" show the other day when Nate Berkus was on promoting his new home accessory line at Target and saw a cute little box wrapped in jute string. After scouring my home, the best I could come up with was cotton twine to replicate Nate's box. Looks cute. I even added some binding at the top and a few buttons for decoration.
