Welcome to Paint Palette Wednesday, This season is a busy one and my studio is a mess. I will have to take a pic sometime, but not today. LOL!!
Painting for me starts with loading my palette with the paint I will be using. Acrylics in this case. Years ago, when I first started to paint it was with oils, watercolor and rembrant transparent oils. Anyway, over the years I have found my way of using a paint palette by taking a clipboard, stack of copy papers and by putting the two together, I have sheets of palette paper ready to fill with loads of paint. It is an inexpensive way to work and no special tools needed. I tried the paper plate idea, but I run out of room. LOL~~ Expensive palettes just use up so fast for me too, so the clipboard works out great.
Notice I painted my clipboard pink. It will get splashed with other colors soon.
Moving on, I found some ornaments in Ross the other day, and, well, the paper vintage designs were placed upside down on the ornaments. Whoops!! So I thought I could redesign them by painting over the papers and giving them a shabby look with a little pink rose.
This next ornament has an old world tuscan type look with it's copper surface and I added a black cherry rose to accent.
Lately I have been painting on glass and having fun with it too. Here is a medium size vase with "forget me nots" all around.
Then a candle plate with little violets scattered about.
Cherry juice glasses. I found these vintage glasses awhile ago. I wish I could get more of these. They are such a cute size.
Lastly, meet this years cone santa nest head ornament! Santa carries a nest with sweet bluebird and glittered presents on the top of his head. I offered this new design last year and brought it back alittle different this season.
It was so nice to have you visit the studio today. Hope you can come back next Wednesday for more studio fun. Not sure what you will find or what I will get into next, but hope you can join me.
See you tomorrow for Thrifty Thursday~~
Till then, Have a great day!
Smiles, Celestina Marie

Celeste, you know I love everything you do. The tassel is really pretty, I purchased several last year from Hobby Lobby in pink and used them on my tiebacks in my pink guest room. I haven't painted on them yet. Love the idea for the clipboard. I have been using freezer paper, it is coated on one side just like palette paper but less expensive. I save the palette paper for seminars. Your Santa is adorable, glad you brought him back this year, also, I love the little hearts in your ETSY shop.

Hey Friend...have missed visiting you! What a fun painting spree you've taken me on today! I loved it!

Hello Celestina Marie, and Merci for visiting my blog today... I actually stopped by your blog earlier but went right to your Etsy shop, then we chatted... so nice to meet you! I am excited to receive my beautiful pumpkin and so happy I found you through sweet Amy at Bunny Rose Cottage... your blog is lovely, just like you...Miss Beazy Lee is precious! Doggie kisses to her! I love your previous post too, I also inherited my mama's recipes when she passed away, many of them had handwritten notes on them as well, whose recipe it was, if she liked it or not, stained from many years of reading and baking from... these are my treasures and keep me close to my mama when I read them and bake something as she once did... I never change an ingredient...I too will follow your blog...I love everything on your sidebar, I always look at all pictures on the sidebars too...will visit again soon... Bisous... Julie Marie
Those ornaments are beautiful.I envy you your talent. I love seeing what you are painting next.
I love, love, love seeing all of the Christmas decor Aunt Celeste!! It's supposed to SNOW here today and for some reason snow automatically makes me think of Christmas- and all of the wonderful decorations, smells, and food. Love the items you have designed thus far for the holidays!
I really enjoyed your studio post today. The pink glass ornaments are just beautiful. They would be perfect on my Victorian Christmas tree! All of your glass painting is lovely. The cherry glasses would be the perfect addition to my vintage red and white kitchen collection. You inspire me to get into my studio and do something with the huge set of stemware I got from the dollar store. I love visiting your blog. God bless, and keep painting!
You have magic hands, everythings is so beautiful.
Saludos
