There is no painting this old house!

Do you love old houses? Some of the old victorian or country homes remain with charm & untimley character . In this photo I had taken a picture of a bungalow while at the beach. I had several copies of the photo made. This cost only 10 cents. I did NOT get photocopies, I ordered the same photo’s so I would have substance and strength for this project. This is very simple- only 4 steps to complete: I glued the photo onto a piece of luan plywood. I cut around the edges. Then I applied white arcylic paint here and there for a snow effect. I took a old toothbrush and ‘flecked’ white dots for the snowflakes. Lastly - I glued a magnet on the back. Remember this was a old beach shack? Now it’s a New Hampshire souvenir ! Use a Sharpie marker for writing on your finished wood product.
