| I'll never buy hooks again |
Yesterday I was possessed. I had 3 projects going, 4 if you count the timely frame hanging tip
above using a
pop can ring from
AdventuresOfOurFamily's new Trade School class. The days agenda was my magazine copy cat challenge as well as a mantel change. I'm not really liking the mantel but I
L O V E my magazine copy project. Brawn walked in to find me dipped in a new color for a picture I had just taken off the wall.
I painted the drunk monkey. You know the song,
Drunk Monkey, that Funky Monkey. Oh say what? That's not how it goes? Well that's the way I sing it. His frame got a coat of CeCe Caldwells Slate followed by my fav, the Hershey Brown. Then waxed with Annie Sloans dark wax. If the two of them got together they could rule the designer paint world. I particularly like that the frames new coat matches his fur coat.
This is a large picture that belongs by the bar, but about 3 years ago I took down whatever was on that wall and temporarily hung the hairy fellow. 3 years is temporary isn't it? I hung the chimp back in the same spot, but on a different nail that was there. Before it was too low, now it's too high. I'll get around to moving it to a better height. Hope that doesn't take me another 3 years.

I am now convinced I'll be singing your version of Brass Monkey when it comes on next :). What a difference a coat of paint makes. Your hairy little friend is much better as a brunette than a blonde.
ReplyDeleteThe title of your post caught my eye on my feed! I had to come over right away to see what you were up to. Love the new frame color!
ReplyDeleteDrunk Monkey .... Bliss you need some attention?
ReplyDeleteKristy @ 4 the love of WOOD
The dark frame stands out nicely against your light woodwork. I'll have to check out that pop can ring hanger. We've got plenty of those in the recycling bin.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite catching the funky monkey tune lol - was it a hit or from a tv show ?
