Painting for Dummies

I hosted this swap about a year ago and it was fun and easy! Please excuse the title, but it just came to me and seemed fitting! In other words, this will be easy for people like me who are not painters, no experience required. I got inspiration from a craft site and it was just too cool, so I immediately made this swap! Look here: http://blog.craftzine.com/ The article is dated August 3, 2009.

Very simply put, choose 2 items to paint for your partner, using only 1 color per item. Go to your thrift store, garage and yard sales, or grab that nic nac or item you've had on your shelf or in a box that needs new life! Add paint, and you're done! Each item will be painted with only 1 color, but make each item a different color. Ex: one blue item and one yellow item. No dollar amount set since you won't be spending much at a sale anyway. Use your own judgement on size, but I would guess the items would be at least 2 inches, depending.
