I want to introduce you to the wonderful world of Michelle Armas. The lovely color that she puts into every painting is truly magical. Michelle is a well known abstract artist that has been all over the news these days. Take a moment to enjoy the incredible color choices of this young talented painter. Check out her shop here!
I was completely thrilled when I got a chance to meet Michelle at a fun meeting of the minds party, in her perfectly decorated home. When I left her home I wanted to get my paint out and get crazy. Laying down color on canvas was such a blast. I made a video with a very approachable way to make your own abstract painting. I’ll show you how to cover a journal and then get started on an abstract painting. You can’t make a mistake! Choose any color you love from the FolkArt acrylic paint line and get started. The video will be released shortly here on Paint Me Plaid, so stay tuned.

One of the best places to display Halloween decorations is a mantle. A mantle provides you with a lot of space, so you could place multiple projects on it. One of our blogger friends, Cheryl from That’s What Che Said, did a fabulous job of creating a project perfect for a mantle. She created this Haunted House Canvas Art. What makes this project even more special is that it glows in the dark. Cheryl used glow in the dark Mod Podge in this project.
