Resin side table… a collaboration with my husband. ✨ We got this log delivered a few years ago with some wood to burn (we heat with wood)… 🪵… my husband decided it was too cool with the hole to burn… so a few years later after drying in the barn it’s now a side table. The top still needs polishing but over all I love it! 🥰 ✨ XO Megan Colleen ✨ #resin #woodworking #megancolleenart

Making a baby beach for our camper travels complete with shark teeth and shells collected from past trips. Enjoy the process. ✨ XO Megan Colleen ✨ #megancolleenart #resinart #sharkteeth #babybeach #fortpickens #fortclinch

A very sparkling sunflower ~ this one turned out fun! I did not like the blue vase, so I scrapped and cleaned off all the oil paint to the under acrylic layer then added gloss medium and a boat load of glitter after the oil dried. ✨ So fun! My mom loves glitter and sparkle… so this is heading to her! ✨ XO Megan Colleen #megancolleenart #glitter #sunflower #mothersdayflower

What I do when most of my oil paint is done. I use the almost dry textured globs of color and put them on a canvas and create a super textured flower. ✨ XO Megan Colleen

Added a little drawing nook in my art room… I can be a messy painter and kept getting paint on my drawings. 🫣 Space for doodles and colors 💖✨ ✨ XO Megan Colleen ✨ #megancolleenart #justforfun #draw #useyourimagination

A little inspiration from my homemade art journal … choose Love… 💕… ✨ “Spread love wherever you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” Mother Theresa ✨ XO Megan Colleen #megancolleenart #chooselove #mixedmediaart

How to add collage pieces to your art work… use a little clear acrylic medium. I like gloss but matte works also. 🎨 ✨ XO Megan Colleen #megancolleenart #mixedmedia #peonies

How I prolong my oil paints to get the most out of them. ✨ Oil paints take a long time to dry… so if protected they stay fresh for a long while. ✨ XO Megan Colleen
