Mistakes happen, and then....

So I have been having issues doing my image transfers, it always seems easy, but the slightest little movement, and your hard work is ruined.  Don't let the do it yourself sites fool you, it is not easy, and I have ruined a few pieces of beautiful pine wood in the process.

I actually have more fun doing the hand painting, and may leave the transfers to the spouse.  Yes, he actually has a better hand at it than I do, plus it keeps him out of trouble (lol).

I was completely annoyed yesterday when I messed up again.  There is no way I am trashing a nice piece of wood, it is just not happening, and sanding it does not really work well.  Not to be deterred, I found some nice Behr black paint just sitting around, and behold, I now have beautiful black wood to work with.

I am still working on my painting technique, and some fonts are a real challenge, but I am in love with the black and white. So lesson learned, you can always find some positive out of a mistake, and it may even work to your benefit. Excuse the work table, you can tell it has been well used.
