Here's a quick little makeover on a plain pillow

Started with a plain pillow...

Painted freehand diamonds...

Decided to put a shell on it, so I grabbed a shell I had....

When I paint something like this, I have to look at something for reference...

I don't just know all the details on a shell

Here's my interpretation of that beautiful shell...

I figured I would be putting dots on there somewhere too 

but had envisioned them at the intersecting diamond points...

But...I had a couple of paint spatters and needed to cover them up 

so I went with the good ol' random dot look

I ended up outlining the diamonds too...I was using a metallic taupe color

The back...that paint looks black 

but it's dark brown like I used on the front

So...there we go, one handpainted shell pillow...

the back...

My beautiful inspiration...you just can't make this stuff up...that's one gorgeous creation
