home work: what to do with tired old christmas balls

Okay I know its pretty late for this one but I might as well share what had 
kept me busy pre-holiday 2011.  Painting balls!

I found these boxes of gold balls in our storage and kept me staring for a long time.  There was
no way they were going anywhere near my tree - too yellow and shiny for me. 


So I grabbed some pastel acrylic and gold and black poster paint. 
I made sure the strokes were light and uneven to achieve that antique look I was going for. 



..and they're ready

to adorn my tree...

and my wreath.
