Unleash your inner Picasso

I confess to being an amateur painter myself. And I have to say, that while my husband is really the genius behind the original arts and crafts that make our home so special, anything with paint on it is mine!

What I love about PaintWorks is how rapidly my skills have improved. Sure they have a long way to go before anyone is going to mistake me for Picasso, but I'm getting there!

Every issue of PaintWorks is brimming with beautiful project ideas ranging from acrylics on wood to glass paint on porcelain. Here's a sampling of some recent projects from PaintWorks :

* Create a one-of-a-kind bird tray that brings winged beauty indoors
* Brushstroke technique guide--paint like the pros
* "Must have" tools for the decorative painter. Watch your skills blossom!
* Say goodbye to boring mailboxes with this gorgeous hydrangea mail keeper
* Save money with great gifts you can make

Whether you are a budding Picasso or just enjoy the way it feels to get lost in a project, PaintWorks is a terrific resource to guide you, inspire you and remind you why you love to paint!
