I found this old milk can at a rummage
sale. I really wasn't sure I knew what I wanted to do with it,
but I bought it and dragged it home. It ended up being one of
my favorite projects, and one of Matt's. He is always showing
it off! Luckily this can was in nice shape so other than washing
it I didn't have to do too much to it to prepare it for painting.
I got the idea for the cow design from - of all places - a dishtowel.
I painted mine differently, but that's where the idea originated.
I also did the flower arranging in the top. I would love to paint
more cans and I have gotten offers from people who would like
me to paint a can for them. It is kind of tough to find a nice
milkcan that is in good shape but doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
I lucked out with this one. |
