those "aha" moments

painting between the studs in the workshop studio...one of the openings filled with nail ends...

I spy a splattered paint board...the width of the board fills the space perfectly...

trim the length of the board down to size...nail on 8 paint can lids (been saving can lids from work for another art project idea...) the texture of the dried paint is astounding...

Instant message board...
and over to the right, you can see where I'm painting the chalkboard...

Paint can lids are steel...add a magnet...violá!

I love those eureka moments...
