Flock of Seagulls

This weekend I completed the kind of arts and crafts project I love. Quick, easy and with maximum payoff. I found three sassy brassy gulls at a thrift store this weekend for $3.25. Think 1982 beach house decorations. I almost balked, thinking it too expensive, but thank goodness I reconsidered. All I did was clean the birds off with a moist paper towel and then give them three coats of a key lime spray paint. Total investment was the cost at the thrift store. I had the spray paint left over from another project. Total time invested was about three hours, including drying. However, when you break it down I probably spend four minutes cleaning the birds, and five minutes each time I spray painted. The rest of the time was dedicated to waiting (not so) patiently. I hung them in my littlest babes room above his crib on a gray and white striped wall. They look magnificent if I do say so myself. Just the thing that the space needed. The pictures I took are a little dark so I may try to retake them during the day, I just couldn't wait. Patience is not a virtue of mine which is why this project was perfect.
